An Open Letter To My Best Friend

I'd be truly lost without you.

Dear best friend,

When we first met, I had no idea you would end up being my partner in crime. Now years later, I can't imagine my life without you in it.

Through the years, you've never missed a thing. You were there at 2 a.m. for my anxiety attack that stemmed from yet another irrational thought. You were there for all the drama with other friends, the recurrent heartbreak and fights. You were there for everything throughout the high school years. You have always been my biggest cheerleader and my greatest support system. No one was happier than you when I got accepted to college and we both knew I was onto my next chapter in life. You are such a huge component to who I have become as a person. You are my inspiration and my motivation to keep pushing forward and to keep putting my best foot forward every day. You are my person.

I want to thank you for your unwavering commitment to me and our friendship the past few years. Thank you for being there for me not only when I need you, but especially when I don't. Thank you for never giving up on me even when the rest of the world walked out. Thank you for your compassion in times of sadness and your cheerfulness in times of joy. Thank you for constantly encouraging me to take risks and discover new things. Thank you for having my best interest in mind at all times. Most of all, thank you for being who you are because who you are is wonderful and I love everything about you.

When I look back on memories with you, I can't help but smile. All those Friday nights we wasted together just sitting up in bed talking for hours. It was nothing at the time, but now it's everything. Going anywhere and everywhere once you got your license. It's always been us against the world. We've spent years making this unbreakable bond between the two of us, a bond I will forever cherish even if it one day breaks.

I owe you the world for these past years we've spent by each other's sides. I anticipate what the future holds for us and I thank God for every day I spend being able to call you my best friend. I hope there never comes a day where I'm unable to say that. Even if there is, I want you to know, more than anything, that I will still always lend an ear or come running when you need someone. I butterfly promise.

Yours truly,

Your best friend

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
