Dear Former Best Friend,
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for everything. Based on knowing you, I'm almost completely sure that you read that in a sarcastic tone; I'm actually genuinely serious about it. Thank you for who you are, what you did, and everything you taught me.
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I've gotten out of my comfort zone and I've done some crazy things. I'm sure I'd have a lot more "wish I would've"'s instead of "I'm glad I did's" in life.
Thank you for all those amazing memories. You know, the ones we can't tell our parents about because we'd get into so much trouble? Yeah, those ones. Staying out too late, partying, random photo shoots, memories. I loved it all. Being able to actually be me an not worrying about it because you were equally as weird as I am (if not even more weird).
Thank you for all those fights we had. Even the petty ones that were over what movie to watch or where we would sleep. Those fights still defined us individually and as friends. They allowed us to grow both as individuals, and as friends. The things was, we'd never stay mad at each other because there was always something we had to tell one another. What she said, or what he did. There was always something we would want to tell each other that we could not or didn't want to tell anyone else.
You were always there for me. Through good and bad. I could always count on you. Always. No matter what the situation. You were always the first person I would call no matter what they situation was.
And then I lost you...
Losing you was a life lesson in itself. I learned how dependent we, as humans, are on each other. It reminded me how important friendships are, and how quickly they can be broken. I learned that people come and go in life; you need to be prepared for those sudden and dramatic changes. Even though we never talk or see each other outside of the occasional run-in, I'll never forget you. I mean, you were my best friend for forever, right? I'll cherish our memories, even our fights.
We obviously weren't meant to be best friends for forever, but I hope all of your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true. I hope you accomplish all you want, and find absolute happiness in life. I hope you find a new best friend can fill every need you have and more. Although we are no longer best friends, I wish only the best for you for all of your future endeavors. I hope to someday see you soon and have an ihop date and gush about everything and anything just to catch up over coffee.
Love always, xoxo,
The one you use to call best friend.
