Friends

This blog is going to be a little different because it is going to be in a form of a letter.  This letter is to my friends who are amazing.  In college I found friends who love me for being myself and that is a great feeling.   I college you are figuring out who you are and where you fit in this world.  These girls have helped me along the way.

Dear Friend,

You are an amazing person even on the days you don’t see it I do.   You can make me giggle even when I am in the worst of moods and usually your jokes have me laughing the rest of the day.   You have a strong sense of self, which I greatly respect.  You’re the only person who can get away with calling me by my full name besides my mom.     You taught me that worrying about what others think of you is a waste of time. 
You are friendly to everyone you meet.   You are a lot stronger than you think you are.  Every time something gets thrown at you take it with grace.   You always seem to know what I’m thinking without me even having to say it.  You share my love of children and enjoy looking at kids’ books as much as I do.   Every time I hang out with you I feel like I get to be a kid again because we both like to color and watch Disney movies.
You are my friend that reminds me of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.   When we were freshman you would always say that I was a social butterfly, I’m pretty sure now you know more people than I do.  You’re an amazing artist and I will never forget your art wall freshman year.  I felt so special when I made the wall.  You are so driven and don’t ever lose that because that is going to take you far in life.    You know your values and you stick to them.   You’re going to do something amazing with your life.
You are my sweetest friend.  You have such a kind heart.  Whenever I’m scared to do something you make sure I know it will be ok.  Right before I had to go on stage in front of the whole school you told me that you would be right next to me and that it would be ok.  You don’t know how much that meant to me I was so scared to be on stage, but after you said that I knew it would be ok.

You are going to take on the world!   You dream big and work hard.  You are a very loyal friend who always has my back.  The pictures we send to each other are priceless.  They always make me smile.  You have a heart of gold.
