Have you ever been scrolling through your social media posts or looking through your camera roll when you come across some of your favorite memories? Or just sitting in your bed thinking about all the fun times you had in high school? That's what I have been doing recently. All of the pictures and videos really make me miss my friends, they make me miss my person.

So here's to my person (you know who you are).

I don't honestly remember how we became friends, all I remember is that as soon as we did, we were inseparable. We have been friends for about seven years now, but it feels much longer than that. From making up songs to making music videos. From going to plays to going on my family's annual beach trip. From road trips to crazy conversations way past midnight. Life with you was quite the ride.

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I remember that day in high school when you told me you were switching schools, I'm pretty sure I cried for two hours straight. Ugly cried. We had gone to school together for what felt like forever and at that moment I honestly had no idea what I would do without you. I didn't know then, but we still lived less than 10 minutes apart and I'd see you pretty much every week. But that's not what was filling my mind at the time.

Then came the time where I found out that I, too, was switching schools. We were even further apart, but our friendship never faded; in fact, it grew stronger. We spent two school years apart from each other that I had always thought we would spend together. It really shook my world, but I'm pretty sure that was just God preparing us for our college life. We no longer live less than 10 minutes apart, we live three or more hours apart. It may be hard, but I know that it will just make every time we see each other even better.

Even though it didn't really seem like it, you have been (and always will be) my person. You've seen me at my worst and at my best. You've been there for some of my best memories.You always know how to cheer me up and you give some really great advice. There are some aspects of our friendship that no person will ever understand (and for their sanity, I hope they don't). You have always been the friend that was up for an adventure, no matter what time of day it was. I remember all of the birthdays we spent together, waiting up until midnight and screaming about it being the other's birthday and then immediately quieting down because my parents were sleeping. I'm being honest when I say this, my life would be VERY different without you.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done in my life and that I love you. Oh, and thanks for being my person.
