This past year has led me away from some and closer to others. With huge changes coming in all of our lives I figured now was the time to say thank you to those who stuck around and are still genuine.

Dear friends,

Thank you. You guys know exactly who you are. You're the ones who ran to be by my side any time anything bad happened and listened to me cry whenever needed. You're my advice givers, confidence boosters, and most importantly, my favorite people to go do crazy things with. We've been through a lot of stuff together. Thank you for staying around for every second of it.

Thank you for being the funniest people on earth. I have spent countless time wiping tears from laughing way too hard. My camera roll is filled with hysterical videos and pictures that if anyone else saw, they would think we were absolutely insane. I wouldn't trade the memories for the world, though.

Thank you for wiping my tears. Breakups, mental break downs, and all issues in between, you've been the first ones to run to my side. When I think of the worst days of my lives, you're still in it trying to cheer me up. You guys get that sometimes I don't need to talk, so you sit in silence with me. I appreciate everything you guys do for me.

Thank you for trying to make me more confident. When I think about this subject I can't help but giggle at all the times you've pushed me into a cute boy while were standing in a crowded room, told me to go up and talk to random strangers, or even do speaking events with you. Thank you for showing me that sometimes approaching people isnt the worst thing in the world.

You guys rock. The ones who've stuck around when things get tough are the ones you need by your side forever. I consider most of you family. I have so much love for you guys, thank you for being the absolute best.
