Although I have many best friends, from different places and for different reasons, I chose to write to you since you are the one I'm closest to right now. This may be because you are dating my brother or because we have been best friends for 7 years now, the longest I've ever lived in one place, but either way I'm glad we met. You seem to remember it better than I do... I simply recall being friendless one day and the next we were inseparable.
When I really look at us, I have to laugh, because we are pretty different in a lot of important ways. Yet, the little things we agree on and share is what makes us so close! Like soccer!! and being bums! and all the stupid games we were too old for but enjoyed sooo much anyways!!!
You are one of the few people who I've let in on a lot of the things I won't even admit to myself. You don't let me get away with anything, and I love that about you (most of the time, anyways). haha. Neither of us are mushy kind of people, so this is kinda difficult to write, but I really do love you and I'm glad we are best friends.
In all honesty, sometimes I hate that you are dating my brother and that our relationship (and that of me and my brother) is hurting because of it. I miss the days when you came over just to see me, not my brother, or my sister. When I look again, though, I realize I am being jealous for no good reason, and in fact we may even be better friends because you are so close with my family. You, more than anyone else, can sympathize when I complain or roll your eyes at me when I exaggerate about them. Besides, everyone dreams of being related to their best friend, and I never have to worry about losing touch with you!!
Someday, if I finally settle down and have kids, you're gonna be the godmother of at least one of them. Ok fine... you can be the godmother of one of my cats. Or my monkey! Either way, you're gonna be a part of my life forever, whether you like it or not. I can only hope our real lives don't turn out the way things did for us in LIFE... watch out for payday. ;-)
