An open letter to the bestest chummy in the world,
I’m not gonna lie to you, sometimes I think I’m losing you
to cooler people. They know their goal in life (even if it is a goal I wouldn’t
set for myself). You work with them; you’re in band with them; you go to their
parties. Sometimes I wonder if I’m the sort of person successful people should
try to be friends with. I’m kind of a deadweight sometimes.
Sorry about that. I’m nowhere near as driven to be amazing
as you are. You are consistently persistent in everything you do and you have
more friends than I am ever going to have because you connect with them so
quickly. Your constant striving for achievement is going to send you places
that I will only be able to wave up to.
Sometimes I don’t tell you things because I think you’re too
busy or that you’ll judge me for it (your other friends wouldn’t have these
problems). But at the very least I know that I can always come to you for your
honest and sincere opinion. You’ve had more experience in everything than me. I
feel like I’m one (or two or three) steps behind you in all aspects of life
that are actually going to matter after school.
Your family feels like they’re so much more close knit and
honest than my family. You can tell them your honest opinion on anything because
they accept it and don’t really push you to change your mind. In my family I
feel there are some things that if I said them, I would be judged for saying. I
feel so comfortable when I hang out with you and your family because I don’t
have to watch what I say so readily. I like that your family is so flexible. I
can turn up at weird times and your family just accepts it and moves on (I wish
I could say the same about my family. I really do).
I feel so chill when I hang out with you. I can be crazy or stupid
and you don’t mind. We can insult each other because we trust each other to
know that we don’t mean it, not really. You don’t judge me for the things I do
or say. You know me and you don’t feel the need to change me. You’ve always
accepted me for who I am, so I know that I’ll always do the same for you.
When I’m feeling like I need to talk to someone in person,
you’re always the first person who springs to mind because you never seem to be
too busy for me. I’ll give any excuse to hang out with you, like the pretence
of making you tuna pasta (which I love doing because food and friends are my
favourite things, especially when they’re together!). Hell, I would come help
you clean if it meant that it’d be okay for me to come and pour out my little
heart.
You’ve proven that I can always count on you, even if you’re
much more popular and successful than me.
I will always strive to treat you with the same respect that
you have always treated me with. You’ve always forgiven me for mucking around
and wasting time. I know that I can be stupid or silly or however I’m feeling.
I feel so much more like me when I hang out with you (who’s
always the most you!)
--Best wishes
from me. <3
