My lovely father likes to tell me that I've been quite the drama queen since the day that I was born because my mother had to have an emergency C-Section due to a seizure, making that an eventful day. It was almost as if that day set the tone for the rest of my life; dramatic. I have had a crazy roller coaster of a life, and I'm still a teenager! While my highs have been ever so amazing, my lows have been drastically low. I have been fortunate enough to have some very special people stick by my side the last few years as I've been through some crazy swings of life. I never knew how much these people would come to mean to me. I'm so thankful that you all are in my life, this is for you.

Thank you.

To those of you that have stood by me these past, what, five years of my life? It's been a long journey my friends, and we've all come so far since then. I know that I have put you through all kinds of hell. You all deserve a medal, and some ice cream, and a day at the beach with all the hoops I put you through. I know I haven't been an easy friend to have. I'm like an emotional time bomb, and y'all are always there when I explode. But, you're always there.

So thank you for being there for me when I felt like the world was against me. Thank you for all the late nights, just to make sure that I would make it through to morning. Thank you for being butterflies on my wrists. Thank you for being shoulders to cry on. Thank you for listening to me when my world was falling apart. Thank you for making me feel like I meant something to someone. Thank you for making me feel a part of something. Thank you for making me feel accepted. Thank you for making me feel okay. Thank you for the time you've spent worrying about me, caring about me, and making sure I felt loved. Thank you for the love when I felt all alone.

I don't deserve any of you all. You all were right there when I needed you, and I am so thankful for this. It amazes me how much I am loved, and how much I love y'all. I spent a lot of my childhood pretty lonely, I didn't have many friends, and was bullied quite a bit. But I can say, having you all as my close friends, those lonely years were definitely worth it.

You've all saved my life a time or two, even in the smallest of ways. I wish there was more I could do to say thanks, or to show you just how much you mean to me. But for right now, this article will have to do. Thank you for being in my life.

If anyone reading this has some friends like mine, the ones you've put through all kinds of crazy things, go give them a hug. Tell them how much you love them and how much they mean to you. The friends that you have are the ones that turn your world from black and white, into color.

Much love,

Britt.
