In high school, I had three friends who I was extremely close to for years. During our junior year, we had a falling out. You've seen movies.

The one thing that surprised me was not a feeling or a thought, but a person. After years of friendship, I was a little hurt, angry, and confused by what had happened. But there was one person who didn't care about what I was going through, she just cared about me. Even without the years of history together, she became my best friend and my rock, always there to support me. I hope that everyone can find someone like her one day, but I've got dibs on mine. These are the reasons you deserve a best friend like mine.

She pushes you to do your best.

She knows what you're capable of, and she won't allow you to do anything but the best, if not better. She's your motivator and your captain.

She's always been around, even before you became close friends.

You start to realize that all along, she's been right there next to you. You have the same interests, do the same things, how did you not notice sooner?

She tells it like it is.

If you're looking for an honest opinion, she's the one to go to. She's not afraid to tell you the truth.

You can be petty together.

There's nothing better than some healthy venting with your best friend. She won't judge you for letting out some of your inner anger. You'd be surprised at how much she'll have to say as well.

She's the most passionate and caring person you've in the world.

She cares about everything and everyone, to the point where you sometimes question her sanity. Never try to argue with her, because in the end, she's always right. She sees the best in everyone and really makes the world a better place. How could you not love her?

You feel like a part of you has died whenever she leaves.

She comes with one downside: she'll go to a different college than you. Don't be discouraged, she's only a phone call away, and she'll text you all of her random thoughts. It's like she never even left.

You'll share so many great memories together.

You'll begin to have enough memories to make a million scrapbooks. She'll be there smiling next to you in every picture. You'll have special places over town to go to when she comes back. People genuinely wonder if you're a couple.

She loves you like Leslie Knope loves Ann Perkins

She's so full of hope and love. She will never let you forget how important you are to her, even if she uses strange out-of-the-box compliments.

She IS Leslie Knope

50% passion and 50% love of breakfast food. She even had a Galentines day. She's protective of her friends and she will do anything for you.

She's the sister the universe never gave you.

We all know the world couldn't handle if you were around each other 24/7

You can't imagine your life without her

You'll think about her every day even when you can't see her.

To my best friend KT, I love you. Thanks for being a beautiful human being. Thank you for never judging me, always supporting me. You've always been there. I hope everyone can find someone like you to be in their lives.
