It’s a most wonderful and reassuring feeling to know you have someone by your side with whom you can share anything. It’s amazing to be able to have a real and deep conversation with a friend but also laugh and party with them.

Letter to My Best Friend
Friendships are magical indeed. This is a letter that anyone can send to their best friend as a thank you for all the lovely times spent together.
To my best friend,
Thank you for being there for me when I needed you,
Thank you for being my biggest supporter,
Thank you for the late night conversations,
Thank you for reminding me to stay true to myself,
Thank you for being strong when I am weak,
Thank you for remembering every inside joke we ever created,
Thank you for always being by my side.
Thank you for helping me carrying on when I thought I couldn’t find the strength to anymore. You sat there by my side and told me I was strong. You sat there by my side and hugged me and even wiped my tears. You offered me kind words and tender pieces of advice.
You assured me that you will be with me through all my troubles and tribulations. And you’ve kept your word so far. You put up with all of my imperfections and embraced my true self even when I couldn’t do it myself. For all that I will be eternally grateful.
Watch the video we created. You will smile and maybe tear up a bit.
Share it with your best friend to brighten their day!
