My Dear Non-judgmental Friend,
First and foremost, thank you for literally never judging me. Not when I tell you how long I've gone without a shower, or when I tell you my current relationship drama, or that I got into a fight with my mom and what I said to her, or when I tell you what I've literally only eaten candy bars that day. It's honestly an amazing feeling knowing that when I'm talking to you I'm in a complete judgement-free zone.
I know that some of the things I do, however off the wall or tame they are, you would never do in a million years. Even though you would never do the things I do, or make the choices I make for myself, you listen to me and give me advice without judgement. You know that just because you wouldn't choose to do it yourself, doesn't mean that it's a bad thing for me to do. Just because somethings are wrong for you, doesn't mean they are wrong for me.Thank you for understanding that although we're friends, we're two separate people, with two different ways of thinking.Of course, being judgement free doesn't mean enabling bad habits or encouraging me to get into bad situations. You give me your honest advice, knowing that you can't force me to follow it. I also know that if I don't follow it and I fail, I will never get an "I told you so." I just want to say thank you for teaching me it's OK to fail and that at the end of the day, you'll always accept me.
We live in a world where judging others is basically taught to us from a young age. Most of us have heard our parents, at some point in our lives, say things like "I can't believe they're wearing that in public," talking about a random woman in the grocery store. Or the fact that the first thing people ask when we tell them about our crushes is "are they cute?" Unfortunately, that's the society we live in. In this society, it's second nature to judge someone, but luckily there are a small amount of people who don't follow this societal standard. Friends like you, who don't judge, inspire me to be more accepting and less judgmental. Whenever I'm struggling with not judging people, I think about how you treat me, and I follow the example you don't even know you're setting.
So thank you my judgement-free friend, for always making me feel loved and supported. I know you genuinely want what's best for me, and I really appreciate that. In a world full of people telling you their opinions and constantly judging you for your choices, you are my safe haven. The world needs more people like you.
Love,
A friend that appreciates you more than you know.
