An Open Letter to My Best Friend

Dear Best Friend:

Honestly, I’m not sure what I would do without you in my life.  Best friends are there for your ups and downs and you have been by my side through it all.

When I think of what a best friend is I picture you and how you’ve impacted my life for the better.  You are the one who keeps me going and motivates me to do my best.  When days are gloomy, you are the one who makes them shine.

Without you in my life, I wouldn’t have my other half or my twin.  You bring out the real me and let me be myself without judging.  You go along with my behavior even when it’s embarrassing to you.

You are the one that I turn to for absolutely everything.  To real life problems to telling you about my every move I wouldn’t rather share everything with anyone else.  You are the one who I automatically think of when I see something crazy happen or want to just blab on and on.

Thank you for being my backbone.  Thank you for being the peanut butter to my jelly.  Thank you for being an individual that I look up to.  Thank you for being my inspiration to live my life to the fullest and to never give up on my dreams.  Thank you for allowing me to vent and complain to you constantly.  Thank you for always helping me through everything and guiding me in the right direction.

You are the one who made me realize that I don’t need to change for anyone and I know that no matter what you will always be there for me.  I may not show how much you do mean to me but I know that I wouldn’t be who I am today without you in my life.  I love you with all my heart and wouldn’t rather have anyone else as my crazy, beautiful sidekick of a best friend.

 

Hellooo! I am your average teenage girl besides all of the quirkiness and energy I carry along with me :) I am a freshman at IUP and is looking to change my major to business management and exercise science!
