To My Best Friend: Thank You For Being There When I Was Annoying AF

Thank you for sticking by my side, even though there have been times when I annoyed the hell out of you. Thank you for never letting some silly argument come between our love for each other. Thank you for putting up with my drunken crying, my late night texts, my general aggravation.

Thank you for being a bitch with me. Thank you for hating the same people I hate, even if you have never met them before. Thank you for listening to my complaints and letting me vent for as long as I need. Thank you for being someone I can actually trust.

Thank you for being my wing woman whenever you spot a cute boy who would be a good fit for me. Thank you for paying close enough attention to know my taste. Thank you for making me look good in front of people I want to date and giving me an excuse to walk away from someone I don’t want around for another second.

Thank you for all of the likes you have left on my selfies. Thank you for complimenting me on something different every time you see me. Thank you for making me feel beautiful when I have been feeling like the complete opposite lately.

Thank you for being the one person I can always run to with my bad news, with my gossip, with my secrets. Thank you for listening to every story I tell you, even if it’s the third time I’m repeating myself. Thank you for being someone who actually gives a shit.

Thank you for making me feel like I’m funny by laughing so hard at my jokes. Thank you for making me feel special by sending me sweet texts on my birthday and checking in on me when you know I’m going through a rough time. Thank you for being the one person who makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.

Thank you for sticking by my side, even during my dumbest moments. The moments when I fell for someone toxic and you gave me advice, good advice, that I completely ignored. Thank you for staying with me even though I didn’t listen to a word you said. Thank you for allowing me to make mistakes without faulting me for it.

Thank you for all of the times when you paid for my beer, my tequila, my chicken fingers. Thank you for the moments when you helped me waddle to the bathroom because I was too drunk to stand up straight. Thank you for acting like a mother figure whenever I stop being responsible.

Thank you for understanding whenever I go a few weeks without talking to you or a few months without seeing you. Thank you for not holding it against me when I have trouble finding time for a social life. Thank you for still loving me the same, no matter how much time we spend apart.

Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for being my partner in crime. Thank you for putting up with someone like me.
