I love my best friend and I wish I could tell her in person how much I love her and how grateful I am to have met her.
I know she doesn't use tumblr anymore and doesn't really check up on here but I wanna rant a little bit with maybe a slight hope that she'll see it.
I really don't know what I'd do without her. I've never been this close with anybody in my entire life so far.
When I first met you, I had no expectations. I genuinely thought that it was going to be like any other friendship l've ever had. Become friends and stay more like mutuals that interact here and there.
I was so wrong. Up until the day I met you, l've never been so close to someone like this. I can genuinely see us still together in the future.
When I was making friends during my elementary and middle school years, I longed for a friendship that would last years and years. Someone who I could talk to about anything. Someone that can support me. Someone who would understand me. Someone who wouldn't look at me weird if I tried to talk to them. I was a weird kid when I was growing up, still am, but l've found my people and community now.
With every friendship I made, I tried so hard to hold on to them, hoping they would last. Eventually I just give up. I thought that I really wouldnāt ever have a lasting friendship. I got so used to only having short term, surface level friends, I just kinda started to expect that out of everyone I met. So when you messaged me on Instagram after I accidentally tapped on your story, thatās exactly what I thought. Another mutual acquaintance that probably wonāt even know my favorite color.
Even when we met up for the first time I genuinely thought that it wouldnāt last because it would just follow the same pattern. I meet someone, I try to be myself, they donāt like it, they distance themselves from being anything more than a plain friend or acquaintance.
You didnāt though. You stuck around. You have seen everything and I can truly be myself around you. I really wish I could be more affectionate with my words in person. I want to say all these things to you. I hate that itās hard for me to form words in the moment. I hope you donāt hate me for saying all this in a text.
I had so many doubts. Nothing will ever be able to explain how grateful I am for you to be in my life. Youāve shown me so many things in life. If we never met, I donāt know what I wouldāve been doing in my life.
I love you so much and I care so much for you. I want to see you succeed in life and I will forever be cheering for you and supporting you in any ways that I can. You worry me a lot, but I still love you just as much. I love you while youāre on meds, off meds, manic, not manic, every single version of you, I will love. I donāt want you to ever think that I wonāt love you because you donāt feel like the real you. Youāre always the real you to me, no matter what meds you take, no matter what clothes you wear, no matter how you act. Youāre still the Kiara Iāve grown up with and grown to love. All I see is how much youāve grown over the years.
Iām beyond proud of you for how far youāve come. You and I both have been through so much these past years. Even getting to know more about the you before I met you, I am so proud of where we both stand today. Every achievement we have made, big or small, I keep in my heart.
I love you so much, thank you for everything.
Since youāre not on tumblr, Iām going to give you this as a letter for our 4 year anniversary. I hope thatās not too weird.. def gonna tweak and maybe add more stuff. But yk :3
