To the girl who knows me better than I know myself,
It's hard to put into words how thankful I am for you-- but I want to try. So thank you. For everything. Thank you for every time you have made me laugh until tears streamed down my face. Thank you for making me feel loved when I feel least lovable. Most importantly-- thank you for never saying no to getting ice cream with me. Thank you for being you.
It might sound cheesy or cliché, but you have become so much more than just my friend. You have become my sister, my diary, my therapist, and sometimes the only thing that keeps me sane. We spend such an absurd amount of time together that people occasionally question our sexual orientation, and quite honestly I would not want it any other way.
We have consistently been there for each other for the good times, and the not-so-good times. We have been a part of each other's most hilarious, exciting and best college memories, and we've also seen each other ugly-cry to the point where we look like middle aged-men with a bad sunburn (no, really... we are not pretty criers). I truly could imagine college without you.
In fact, I couldn't imagine the rest of my life without you. I hope when we're in the real "adult world" that you make me come over to braid your hair because you have yet to learn how to do french braids by yourself. I hope I can force you into coming to all of my appointments with me because you know I hate going to anything alone. Even though we are growing up, I don't want to grow apart.
Because, yes, we will both make more friends in life, but they won't be you. Because you're not just my friend-- you're my biggest supporter, my number one fan, and the person I can always count on, and hopefully you know I am the same for you. Your victory is my victory, your sadness is my sadness, and your success feels like my success. I am always in your corner, and no matter what happens-- I will always consider you like a sister to me.
We have both been through our own individual struggles over the past few years, and I'm so thankful we pushed each other to overcome situations that once seemed unconquerable. Maybe without each other they would have been, but I'm glad we didn't have to find out. All I know is that life without you would mean a whole lot more stress and a whole lot less laughs (and probably less selfies too-- let's be real).
So again, thank you. Thank you for all the times you reminded me of my worth, and encouraged me to be the best person I can be-- I hope I have done the same for you. You're the best, funniest, and kind-hearted human I have ever met, and I'm lucky to know you.
Love,
Your foreva friend
