A best friend is hard to come by, and when your blessed with a beautiful soul as a best friend, you should thank the lucky stars that has brought this person into your life. We meet freshman year of high school after thinking each other was beyond weird all of middle school. From the first time we talked in gym class I knew we were destined to be best friends. We are so beyond similar sometimes it feels like we share the same brain, because we always seem to be thinking the same things. But for as similar as we are, we also seem to balance each other out. You are someone who lives life more on the edge ready to jump at all times and as crazy as I can be, I am definitely more reserved. We seem to balance each other out and bring out the best in each other. When were together it is never short of memorable. Whether it’s our famous drives where we like to think we our professional singers who are putting on a concert, our countless Starbucks runs, me making you laugh with the crazy things I say, and the countless snaps and texts we send each other. You constantly know when i’m in need of a laugh and usually this is done by you tagging me in a meme on Facebook. People hate to hang out with us when were together because they never seem to know what were talking about because our inside jokes our endless. How you put up with me, you deserve a medal. From my crazy personality, to never having a filter on what I say, to my extreme obsession with Starbucks, I don’t know how I am so lucky to have a friend like you stick by me, because I don’t know if I could do it. You make it so easy to be your friend because of your easy going personality and your ability to always know what to say (even though you call me your personal therapist). You are truly one of the strongest people I know and I don’t know how you are always able to keep your head so high despite life getting in the way. We have been there for each other through it all, from broken hearts, to family drama, to losses and excitements and everything in-between.
When we started applying for colleges we knew that this would end our time in school together. We would go from having almost every class together and owning the halls of high school, to being miles apart, but we weren’t scared.You would one day be a nurse and I would be a psychologist (surprise surprise, of course it’s both in the health field), and unfortunately we would need different schools to accommodate our future endeavors. For the longest time I would say I was leaving and going as far away as I could, when deep down we knew you were staying local. But then college visits started happen and it turned out I found my dream school less than 30 minutes away from home. So even though we would be attending different schools we wouldn’t be as far away as we once thought. We planned the amount of visits you would take up to my school being that I was living there and all the crazy times we would have. We’ll once college actually set in these visits became fewer and fewer. We went from high school where we spent every minute of every day together to just a couple of text and snaps a day, if we were lucky. Now for any other friendship this would be the point when their friend ship would slowly slip away. But not for us, if anything this brought us closer. When we would get to see each other over breaks it always felt like no time had passed at all and we made sure to fill each other in on every little detail so we knew exactly what was going on in each others lives.
I am so beyond lucky to have a life long friend like you. You are my person, my future bridesmaid, sister, aunt to my future children, the Monica to my Rachel, the Meredith to my Christina, the Carrie to my Samantha, the peanut butter to my jelly, but most importantly you are my best friend. I have no idea what I would do with out you and I know I will never have to worry about that because were not going anywhere without each other. I can’t wait to make so many more memories together and get to reminisce about them when were old ladies in wheel chairs screaming to talk to each other because we can’t hear a word each other is saying. (But let’s not rush it because we have a lot more living to do and way to many memories to be made).
Love you to the moon and back my forever friend
I hope everyone out there is as lucky to have a best friend like you because if not, I’m sorry but your missing out! I love you Meg….happy early 19th birthday!
