I was blessed when the most amazing guys I’ll ever meet walked into my life and we just clicked. So, even when I want to punch every one of you and when I don’t say it enough… here is my thank you to you boys.
First of all, thank you for being completely platonic with me. Thank you for being living proof that guys and girls can be just friends without the weirdness and the awkwardness that everyone seems to think comes with it. Weekly sleepovers and dinners with you guys were never weird and drunk nights just ended with us eating pizza, drinking more, and screaming to Blink 182 as loud as we could. So thank you for allowing me to hang out with you without ever worrying about being hit on.
Thank you for thinking of me as just one of the guys when we hang out. You don’t treat me differently. Hanging out with just the guys was never something I would dread. You talked about sports, girls, and video games and let me have my input and opinion. You bully me just like you do to each other. Thank you for not being weird and proper around me and for talking to me like I was just another guy.
Thank you for being one of the girls for me. You let me be one of the guys and you act as one of the girls for me. You give me advice when I ask you what outfit looks good and if I have too much makeup on. You gossip with me and help me keep up with celebrities lives. You talk about boys, relationships, and other people with me. So, thank you for being one of the girls, too.
Thank you for never leaving me. I mean this both literally and figuratively. Thank you for not leaving me when I was stuck at the bar with just the guys for the weekend. I appreciate all the times I would get stuck a few steps behind you guys and I would hear you say that you need to find me before you do anything else. And thank you for always being in my life. Even when we’re living miles apart from each other I know you boys are just a call away. Thank you for reminding me you’re always there.
Thank you for listening and for being honest. Thank you for letting me complain about the same guy to you over and over again and waiting until I was finished talking to you to tell me that I’m being dumb and need to move on. Thank you for listening to the more serious topics as well and giving me the best advice and hugs when I needed it. You tell me when I’m right, but you’re not afraid to tell me when I’m being dramatic too. Thank you for listening to all my dumb stories when I tell them on a running loop and thank you for telling me to shut up when I need it.
Thank you for never judging me. No matter what stupid decision I made, how drunk I may have gotten, or when I just finished eating a box of mac and cheese to myself. You guys never passed judgment on me. I know that I can be myself around you guys and come to you with anything. So thank you for letting me be me.
Thank you for letting me be unapologetically me. I know I say weird things and eat weird foods and talk nonstop so thank you for letting me act silly and express my stupid humor. Thank you for letting me wear grey on grey and still be seen with me. You let me eat ungodly amounts of food and make jokes that nobody thinks are funny, but me. You let me drink all the beer I want and bully you guys while doing it. Thank you for letting me be me.
Thank you for being the big brother I never wanted. I came to school with zero big brothers and left with five. Every single one of you pick on me as if I were your little sister. But I know you always have my back in any situation. I always felt safe and protected when I was with you. We fight like siblings, but we love each other and take care of each other like siblings too. Thank you for becoming like family to me. I really do think of each of you as my family.
As much as I may want to hate you, boys, sometimes, I can’t. I would not have gotten through college without you. You made life worth it and you make adulting a little easier. Thank you for making me the little sister that you guys never wanted. Sorry to tell you guys, but you’re stuck with me forever and I’m okay with it.
