An Open Letter To My Person,

“You are my person. You will always be my person.”

Let me start off by saying, I appreciate you. I appreciate you for everything that you have done for me. Words can't even express how grateful I truly am to have you in my life.

Coming to a new school wasn’t something I was looking forward too. Not only was I going to be the new kid, I was also going to be the new freshman. Scary, right? But I knew that God had a plan and that plan started with me keeping my head up and staying positive. Little did I know; his plan also included you. We met the very first day of our freshman year and how ironic was it when I found out it was a new chapter in your life too. Right off the bat, you and I clicked. The first day of school required lectures in the PAH. You’re probably thinking what is a PAH, right? It’s our school’s Performing Arts Hall a.k.a the lecture hall. You and I worked together to navigate our way through the maze of a new world and somehow we made it just fine. Our friendship only continued to grow from there. Throughout the next four years, I started to learn that you were definitely my person.

You are the Cristina Yang to my Meredith Grey. And here’s fifteen reasons why:

  1. We can cry on each other’s shoulders.
  2. We fight, but at the end of the day, we are still there for each other.
  3. I can go to you for anything and everything.
  4. We may not always agree with each other's choices, but we never judge.
  5. “I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I’M FEELING 22!”
  6. Back to number 5; you know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t deny it.
  7. We can make fun of each other all we want, but we never take offense.
  8. If I need to call you at 3am, I know you will answer. Well maybe.
  9. You know how to cheer me up when I am feeling down.
  10. You bring out my crazy side.
  11. I can tell you my deepest secrets and you can tell me yours.
  12. DANCE PARTIES!
  13. You have seen my worst side, yet somehow you still put up with me.
  14. You seem to know what’s best for me, more than I know myself.
  15. The distance between doesn’t break our friendship; it only makes it stronger.

You and I have been through so much, but we always have each other's back. You are my person and I am your person. You are my Cristina Yang. As Meredith Grey once said, “We’re friends. Real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes when you finally decide to look back, I’ll still be here.” No matter how many times we disagree or how far the distance, you and I will always be right there at the end of the day when things are all said and done. That is a real friendship.

Sincerely,

Your Person a.k.a your Meredith Grey.

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.

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!
