To The Friend I Thought I Lost Forever

Thank you for being my person.

To The Friend I Thought I Lost Forever
Niyati Khakhar

In my experience, when friendships hit bumps, they end. They always end. I had never met a real friend who stuck by my side no matter what bumps were in the way. Until I met you.

Since the day we spoke for the first time, I noticed something. I noticed that you have a personality that I had never seen before. Life just flowed out of you, like a radiating light. No matter what was going on, your outgoing laugh and outlook on life just seemed to make all of the other stuff fade away. You always felt like a place I had never been. I knew I had something good; something worth holding on to. I would have done anything in my power to keep holding on to you. You slipped through my fingers faster than I ever could have anticipated, and it's a day that will run circles around my mind for a long time to come.

Have you ever met someone, that almost didn't seem human? Someone that was just so amazing that you just could not fathom how much love you had for this person? I certainly had never felt that. Losing you was the hardest, most horrible thing I could have imagined. That night, the world felt empty. Not just my bedroom, not just my building. There was something missing. That night I knew I had just let go of something that I would never be able to replace.

All the memories I have with you, all the laughs and awkward moments chased me in circles. I missed the feeling of knowing I had you. I was not going to let this be the end of it, if it was the last thing I did. Our inside jokes would slip out sometimes, and it would break my heart a little bit more each time.

"I LOVE YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Rekindling with you was by far the most refreshing and reassuring thing I have done. We both realized that this can not be so easily replaced, and I have really found myself one of the most loyal, loving, funny human beings there is.

Thank you for being my person, I truly love and appreciate everything you have been, and everything you are.

In case you forgot:

Your butt is perfect.

Your smile lights up the room.

Your mind is insanely cool.

You are way more than enough.

You are doing an amazing job at life.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
