I wanted to write you a letter to tell you how grateful I am to have you as a friend. I rarely write letters like this because you know how much I hate being emotional, but hey it’s your birthday and I wanted to give you something a little different.
I originally wanted to make a video showing our old and current pictures together, but then I realized I’d have to activate my Facebook just to dig up all our photos. And you already know how much I hate social media nowadays… so here we are instead with this long-ass letter.
I kept rewriting this letter not because I didn’t know what I was writing but because I wanted it to be more meaningful and thoughtful. It’s been years since I’ve written anything like this, and I wanted to make sure it truly came from the heart.
Also, I really hope you don’t get bored reading this, because I will seriously punch you in the head if you do. I put my heart into this, so you better read the whole thing. Hahaha.
The first time we met, we didn’t even like each other. In fact, we judged each other’s character just by how we looked. I honestly thought you were just one of those people who would simply pass by in my life. But little did I know that I had just met the person I would later call the greatest friend I could ever have.
Sometimes I ask myself what I would change about my past if I could turn back time. My answer is always the same: I would probably focus more on my studies in Liceo and graduate at the right time.
But then I realize something… if I had done that, I might have never met you.
And then I start imagining what my life would have been like if we had never crossed paths. Would I have survived being depressed? Would I have made it through all the anxiety I went through? Who would I have called whenever I felt alone?
At the time, you became more of a sister to me than my own biological sisters were. Even though our interests in life can be completely different, somehow we still managed to stay friends.
I guess God’s plan really does work in ways we don’t always understand even when it’s not what we originally wished for.
I will forever be grateful for that subject called Humanities 101, because without it we might have never met.
Thank you for standing up for me when everyone else chose to bully me. While others wanted to hurt me or see me fail, you were there reminding me that I could fight my own battles—with you by my side. Thank you for reminding me that I’m never truly alone on this earth, no matter how fragile I may feel sometimes.
No friendship is perfect, and ours is definitely no exception. We’ve had our struggles. We’ve had our ups and downs—even times when we didn’t talk for months. But even during those moments, I always knew that if I really needed you, you’d still be there.
Just one phone call away.
And that means more to me than you’ll probably ever realize.
I’ve always been unlucky in my love life, but when it comes to friendship, somehow I got incredibly lucky. I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve a friend like you, but I thank God every day that I have one.
You’re not just my best friend you’re literally my sister from a different universe.
I know we both cringe at emotional stuff like this, but I just want you to know how thankful and blessed I am to have you in my life.
Happy Birthday to my not-so-chubby friend anymore.
I’ll always be right here for you through thick and thin.
But before I end this letter, let me set one boundary as your loving best friend.
As much as I love you, please stop asking me when I’m getting married or if I plan on having children. I don’t even like children—let alone want them in my life. So the next time you ask me that question again, I might have to lovingly punch your face.
