A Thank You To My Long Distance Best Friend

Even though she lives over 800 miles from me, we are better friends than anyone can ask for.

A Thank You To My Long Distance Best Friend
Makenna Lilly

Thank you to my best friend who decided to be open with me when you did not need to be. Thank you for being that arm to support me when I have went through difficult things that I did not feel comfortable sharing with anyone. Thank you for making me laugh so hard that I cried. Thank you for giving me words of advice. But most of all, thank you for being the carefree person you are.

Thank you for never acting like we were strangers.

We started communicating on Snapchat to get to know each other right after Christmas. Our friendship was pretty automatic. We both showed pleasure horses, had gaming horses, and were about the same age. Our backgrounds definitely differ but that never stopped us. Split parents versus my parents that have been together for 18 years. You have an older brother whereas I have a younger one.

Thank you for accepting me, even though we are different.

The biggest difference being our spirits. We are completely opposite in that aspect. I am a super grounded person. I live in a small town of 200, so it is hard to find something interesting to do. You are definitely the free-spirit. You challenges boundaries and pushes me outside of my limits.

Thank you for letting the distance make us better friends.

Living so far apart, I have to keep you in on everything going on. I tell you the guy I am crushing on, who I am fighting with, what I am doing with my horses, and so much more. We never censor ourselves, which is the best part of our friendship. We can tell each other anything and not feel like we are being judged. We give each other honest advice, even when we do not ask for it. I cannot remember a time when we have not talked for a day. Either we are chatting on Snapchat or calling each other!

Thank you supporting me through everything!

I appreciate everything you have done for me. From the time that I got on an untrained horse to winning a quad-state judging event. Your support was not just from the good things. You supported me when I quit my first job, broke-up with a guy I really cared about, and so many other things that should not be voiced to the public. You have been there through by biggest accomplishments and my worst nightmares.

Thank you for never acting like you are better than me.

Even when she is better at something than I am, she never tells me. She never acts like her way is better than mine. We both do the same thing completely different and sometimes we do not get the same result. If one of us has done something that the other has not, we never feel insecure asking for advice. This is the thing that you can never thank someone for enough.


Thank you to my best friend. I cannot imagine life without you!

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
