Dear Best friend, I truly wish you could see yourself the way that I do. I know that it's easy to doubt yourself when you have been through so much in your life, but you are not your mistakes. You are not the nights you cried yourself to sleep, you are not the boy who used you, you are not the bad grade you got on a test,you are not your flaws, you are not your most painful heartbreak, no.

You are the smile you bring to everyone's face, you are the laugh I would recognize from miles away, you are the hug that makes me whole again every time I see you, you are the you that this makes this world a beautiful place. You are a heart of gold, you are the girl who works her butt off to make sure she has everything she needs, you are the best friend I never want to know life without.

You are a future amazing mother, wife, and god mom to my children. You are a future successful healthcare professional. You are my future maid of honor. You are you, and there is nothing more perfect about you than the fact that you're you.

This world has put you through a lot, and you always remain the same with a pure heart. Many nights you unknowingly made me smile when I was falling apart inside. Many days seeing you made me feel whole again. Many days I got out of bed only because you made me feel strong enough to do so. Many times I cried after you texting me telling me you didn't feel good enough, because I knew if you could see yourself the way I do, you wouldn't feel the same way. Many times I thanked God for you, because sometimes I can't help but wonder if I'd truly still be here if I didn't have you to continue living for.

So, when it all gets to be too much sometimes, remember who you truly are, and not just who you think you are. There is only 1 you in this world, and that you deserves to be happy, loved, and at peace. And when you begin to doubt yourself... know in the back of your mind that you have truly saved me many times, even when you didn't know it. I hope that one day you see yourself the way I do, because you'll truly be amazed. I love you.
