An Open Letter To The People I Love
Kate Deng

I love you, G. I haven’t heard from you in what seems like years. We exchange semi-annual birthday wishes and “I hope you’re doing well”s but life just got in the way. But that’s okay, I will never forget you. You put depth in my life. I was floating above the surface before you dove in and saved me.

I love you, I. You changed the way I look at people. I think you were the first real thing in my life and you taught me the difference. I could not be more proud of who you are and who you’ve become. Every day I strive to be as strong as you.

I love you, J. No one has ever, and may ever, known me the way you do. Thank you for loving me unconditionally even when I didn’t love myself. You were there for me in my happiest moments and in my darkest times. I know I messed up a lot but I miss my best friend.

I love you, B. I appreciate you more than you could ever imagine. You have a vibrancy that can’t be ignored and bring color to my life. I will always believe in you even if you don’t believe in yourself because I know you’re destined to change the world.

I love you, S. I was scared before I met you. I didn’t know who I was or where I belonged, and although I still don’t know the former, you’re helping me find my way. You unintentionally brought me out of the dark and showered me with bright lights, and for that I could not be more grateful.

I love you, E. I know I don’t say it enough, but I do. I envy your passion and your outlook on life. I’m incredibly proud of everything you do. I can’t wait to watch us grow up and grow old together, hating on each other and belting dramatic duets along the way.

I love you, M. You are my best friend. No matter the situation, somehow you always know exactly what to say. You’ve taught me how to love, how to be kind, and how to be a good person.

I love you, D. You are my role model. I’ve always envied your perseverance and effort in everything that you do. You’re my hardest critic and my biggest supporter. You’ve taught me to be a stronger person and always put my best foot forward.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
