To My Best Friend

I will always love you.

To My Best Friend
Michelle Marie Messick
"We’re friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be there." - Meredith Grey
Although our lives are on two opposite spectrums.
I will always be here whenever you beckon.
Although college has got the best of us, and our friendship is shaking.
I need you to know that my love for you is never breaking.

I need to start off by saying thank you. I love you more than words can say, and I love writing so that's a lot of freaking words. I don't have excuses for the way life has treated both of us, but I cannot thank you enough for being there for me through the miles that keep us apart. I don't have the right quote or attempt at poem to make everything okay again. But I hope you know a couple of things...

You are the calm in the center of the chaos. You have been since I met you and I need you.

You have always been there for me whenever I didn't deserve it, or take the chance to appreciate it. I love being able to text you and know you are always there for me. It sucks knowing I can't call you and tell you what's going on with me in that particular instance without some kind of fear that you will reject my effort to reach out.

We are the definition of twisted sisters.

You and I both know our history is not perfect. Our track record is not easy, but we always find a way to come back to each other. Only the difference this time, is I'm not willing to wait months to fix things. Although twisted, we are not broken.

It broke my heart to leave you at home.

Hugging you one last time, the morning I left was one of my hardest goodbyes (second my dogs). Knowing I couldn't drive to your house or see you for weeks was so difficult; because we spent almost every waking moment with each other.

You make me a better person.

Maybe it's because you are my person, I don't know. Either way you are the Mer to my Christina, the Brooke to my Peyton and the Blair to my Serena.

I wish I could drive to come see you whenever I need to cry, or want to shop. I wish I could make fun of you with your parents anytime I wanted to, and I wish I could have a million more pool days with you. Although it is so difficult for me to be away from you, it makes the times I see you so much more special, even if I don't always show it.
Thank you for loving me through my awkward high school stages, I am your biggest fan no matter what happens. I will root for you until the Lord calls me home.
Although our lives have taken us in different directions, you are the very first person I call when I receive good news. You are the only person that I can go weeks without speaking to and pick up where we left off. You are the only person I would dance in front of the entire team with. Always dance it out, right?
Life is better with a best friend, but life means everything and more when your best friend is someone you have known since before you had to grow up. I am thankful I always know who to call to cheer me up, and I know that even though we go to different schools now...
Everyone deserves a friend like you.
I love you Michelle Belle.

April Ludgate
NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
