Dear My Person,

Remember in Grey’s Anatomy when Meredith told Christina that she was her person? It was probably one of the sweetest fictional TV moments ever, and since then, that phrase has been blowing up newsfeed and timelines alike. But even as cliché as it is, I couldn’t be more thankful that you walked into my life and never left. Congrats on being my “A1 since Day 1.” Lucky you, right?

Not only are you the one who I lean on during the tough times, but you’re also the first one to hear every one of my greatest moments. Okay, I’ll admit it- I’m sure you could care less about each and every minute detail of my life, but thank you for at least pretending to listen as I rant about my Amazon Prime order arriving three days after the guaranteed delivery date or about the 98% that I somehow, by the grace of God, landed on that dreaded O-Chem midterm.

Whether it’s as simple as hanging out in your living room and binge watching The Bachelor or late night stops at Taco Bell for a chicken quesadilla and a Baja Blast, there is no one else that I could ever imagine or want to go through life with. You have stuck by my side through the good times and the bad. From the gangly and awkward days of high school to the less gangly, but just as awkward days of our twenties, you have always been my person to count on.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of this life has in store for us. When we were little, we joked about having houses that connected through and underground tunnel so that we could see each other whenever we wanted. We laughed about marrying best friends and having our kids grow up together. I mean, things change a lot in fifteen plus years, so the dreams we had when we were seven aren’t that realistic anymore, but the one thing remains the same- Our friendship.

So thank you for being my person. Thank you for being there when I felt like no one else was. Thanks for being my shoulder to cry on, my advice giver, my reality checker, my number one fan, and my biggest cheerleader. I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for being you! Our friendship is unique and crazy. If I had to describe it to anyone else, I would be at a loss for words. Just know, that you are my person, and I love you.

Love,

Your Person
