Everyone has a friend and some of
you may even have a best friend. I am
fortunate enough to have a couple best friends and a few friends. Friendship to
me is one of the most special things we have in life. A friend is someone who
you trust, can make you smile when you’re down, will never let you feel alone,
and many more things. I have friends that are family members (like my sister) and
friends who are not but feel like they are. Throughout my life I have people I
thought were my friends but they are no longer in my life, I consider those to
be more acquaintances now. A real true friend is someone who will never leave
your life, yes we may go a while without talking but when we get the time to
talk it is like we never had any time apart. Did you know that a study was done
and it is said you can have up to five close friends? For most girls those are
the five you have as your bridesmaids. I have been blessed with some truly
wonderful friends in my life. I know my personality can be a handful for some
to take in as well and I know what it is like to feel like you don’t have a
friend, so I always try to make sure they know how they are to me. I want to
say thank you to them and decided to do it on here. Maybe you have a friend
that means a lot to you as well but don’t know how to say it; hopefully this is
something you can share with them then.
Dear Friend/Best
Friend,
You are always there when I need a
smile and laugh. You know my thoughts without them being spoken. You know my
fears and my favorite food(s). You’ve seen me cry my eyes out and always
threaten to kick the person’s butt who made me shed a tear. You’ve driven far
just to make sure I was okay. We can sit in silence but feel like a thousand
words have been spoken. I think of you and all I can do is smile. I need to
tell you something, I need you to know just how much you mean to me. I want to
tell you thank you for all that you do. I know you are rolling your eyes at me,
smiling, and thinking I’m goofy for saying this, but you really don’t know how
much I treasure your friendship. I have seen the loneliness of having no one
but with you in my life I never feel alone anymore. I know I can be a pain too,
but you handle so well. I’ve never had to hide who I was with you; you always accepted
me for who I was. When I am scared you push me to get past my fears. You gave
me a gift when you came into my life; you taught me how magical friendship can
be. We may have had disagreements at times but we never let them get in the way
of our friendship. I wish you could see how much you mean to me through my eye
because words will never be able to fully describe just how important you are
to me. You can take on a role very easily, if I need a mom, a conscious, a brother,
sister, a filter for what comes out of my mouth, or I just need you. I never
have to ask you just know which one to be for me. I can cry tears of happiness
when I think of what you mean to me, so thank you. I trust you with my life and
I will do anything to protect yours. My mind can go directly to you when I need
help or protection, you never let me down. Thank you for letting me feel safe
with you. You an Angel to me. Remember I will always be there for you just like
you are for me. I love you! Thank you!
Love,
Cassie
I hope you guys liked that little letter; some of you might
just be part of it. I tried to think of all my friends when I wrote it and not
give away who I was thinking about at certain parts. I have had this thought in
my head all day to write just how much I love and appreciate all of them, but
sometimes it can be a bit more difficult to express what you are feeling on
paper (even if you are usually good at it). Each one of my friends are so
unique to me. I have one guy best friend who is like a guardian angel at times
I feel like with how protective and wonderful he is. He is the friend I
automatically think of when I am in trouble and need help. I have a few close
girl friends but I would have to say two of them have always been there for me and
are my best friends. One is like a mom/ older sister at times and is always
there when I need to talk. She is my constant worrier about me and always tries
to make sure I’m okay/ not doing anything stupid. My other best girl friend is
my wild side. She always pushes me to do what I am scared to do. She is there
when I need a helping hand but if she thinks I can do it on my own gives me
word of advice and push me into the pool of life. Each friend is unique and I
probably wouldn’t be who I am today without them. One thing I tell anyone I
meet is that you mess with me and it’s whatever if you mess with my family or
friends you better run for the hills because I will defend them till my last
breath. Remember life is about the simple treasures in it and friendship is one
of them.
