Dear best friend,
We’ve gone through everything together. Remember those late nights crying to one another while shoveling our mouths full of ice cream? Or those moments when your new boy had to meet me, and I spent the time judging whether or not he was good enough for you? (Of course, no one will ever deserve you in my book, not unless he’s Channing Tatum.) I remember the road trip we took to the beach just because, where we had the windows down with music blaring and we almost got lost a few times. We grew up together, we watched each other grow into the people we are today. You’ve seen the best, and you’ve seen the worst of me. You held my hand during the moments I needed you most, when I wasn’t sure how I would make it through that time.
But I think this has to be the hardest thing we’ve ever gone through.
We both knew this day would come, that we would end up going our own way. But I never imagined how far apart we would be. We’ve been inseparable for so long that it feels like I’m missing a part of me. Sure, we had those few fights back in high school where we didn’t talk for day. But then it hit the point where we just had to apologize because we missed each other too much. We used to talk about college and how excited we were to finally be on our own, but there was always that elephant in the room reminding us that it also meant we wouldn’t be together. And now, I hate how long we’re forced go without talking because things get so hectic.
But, no matter how much I miss you, I want you to know how proud I am of you. You tell me all about this life you’re making for yourself and all of these amazing experiences you’ve had, and I’m so happy. I always knew that one day you would do great things, and now you’re another step closer. Even if I’m not there with you, you know I’m still cheering you on and reminding you that things may get stressful and push you to your limits, but you can do it. I have faith in you.
So go out there, make me proud, and I’ll see you soon. Xoxo.
