This is basically a love letter for my best friends since middle/high school. They stayed by my side for many years, and I’ve experienced some of my happiest memories and lowest lows with them. It’s also a sappy post, so no need to read. This is just kinda a journal post for me and I’m cringing so hard at myself, but I was also hoping that for anyone who needs some encouragement that friends who are very different can still work out, this might help in some way.

Being with people is one of the scariest things in the world, at least for me. It’s mostly scary because it’s always unknown territory, but what rly sucks is that you don’t get to choose who gets to be in your life. Those who you were close with since childhood aren’t always the ones you grow old with, and those you thought you once knew, are constantly changing. Ultimately, a lot of these changes and separations are healthy bc it’s necessary for the both of you to grow and learn how to be your own person. It’s something that you learn to accept because you can’t do anything about it, but it never gets easier to let someone go.

During the past two years, I’ve drifted from a lot of people and some I’ve had to actively cut ties with. But in the storm of people coming and going from my life, this group has stayed very near to my heart. A lot of these people are friends I’ve known since middle school. Most of them I didn’t know if I could get close to and relate to and lean on, but I guess over time, our friendship just grew on its own. We’ve had our fair share of arguments and fights, but we’ve learned that getting past them means accepting differences. Most of them have seen me at my lowest points and celebrated at my best. They know parts of me better than I know myself. They know stupid things that will crack me up when I’m crying, and I find myself happier and able to laugh a little easier when we’re together. It scares me to think that even our friendships can still change and break up, but I’m slowly learning to trust and open up. Coming from someone who spent the majority of her childhood without any close friends, this means a lot because I never thought I could experience this kind of friendship. I know and appreciate completely what it’s like to be alone, but I also know that I’m better when I’m with my friends. I don’t know what the future holds, and I trust that I can let people go without losing myself, although it’s still plenty scary to think about that. But I hope we can be friends for a long, long time.

This situation of being quarantined is something totally new, but I’m grateful to have friends and an online community who are supportive even while we are all separated and afraid. We’ve supported each other through tougher times than now. This is basically a whole love letter by now LOLOL, but if you read this far, you’re all real ones. You guys are my family and i wouldn’t give y’all up for the world. Here’s to growing up together and being friends for many more years~
