An Open Letter To My Bestfriend At Home

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oneonta chapter.

Hey girl, it’s me.

 

I miss you so much, why did we ever decide to go to different schools? Or live in different cities? We should have just got an apartment together and order Chinese food and drink wine every night, why didn’t we just do that?

 

You know everything about me, we’ve practically been friends all our lives. So you absolutely know how I feel when I call to tell you about something. You get me, and I get you. We know each other’s aspirations and desires. We want the best for each other. And yeah, I have friends here who know a lot about me too, and I love them, but they aren’t you. We have our own inside jokes, our own language, even. It’s like our own secret club we’re in.

 

I look forward to our weekly calls, which sometimes last hours. I look at your snapchats right away and laugh uncontrollably to your ugly selfies. My Instagram is basically pictures of you and I and if I ever need to post a #wcw you know it’s gonna be you.

 

You know all of my flaws, mistakes, and fallouts. But you don’t judge me for them. Many people would, but not you. You truly are my sister, whom I absolutely cannot live without.

 

You know about the boy who broke my heart, you know about the college boys who never seem to grow up, and you know why I may still not be over someone. You understand, you get me. Sure, I can talk to my friends here, but honestly, I just want to talk to you about it all. You understand my heart better than most people.

 

You know what grinds my gears, what gets me stressed, or what makes me sad. You understand my family, where I come from, who I am today. You’ve been there with me through everything. And even though I’ve been in college for a while now, it still breaks my heart that you can’t go through this part of my life by my side.

 

If I don’t find love in this world, if I don’t meet my goals, if I never get what I want in life, at least I know I will have you to complain to about it all.

 

Everyone wants to find that one person in their life who completes them. Honestly, no one has to look any farther than their best friend. Thank you for always being there for me, even if we are apart. I now and will always value our friendship and our sisterhood.

 

XOXO

 

Your Best Friend Forever.
