Dear Mel,
I know we are friends in real life as well as online but you are the friend I interact the most with online. It's funny, whenever I post something on Facebook I wait to see if you, my mom or my grandmother will be the first to respond. It seems you keep close tabs on my life. I like having a friend who cares enough to stalk me. It is nice to know that if I ever need a friend all I have to do is send you a text or a quick message on Facebook.
You and I have been through quite a bit together in the short 4 years that we have known each other. Break ups, make ups, family feuds, moves in and out of town, school drama, friend drama, money drama, and never quite knowing if we would come out on top of it all. You have never failed to be there for me. And I hope that I have never failed to be there for you too.
It seems like it was just yesterday that I met you and only a few days ago that we were sharing a room together in the dorms. The time has certainly flown by with you as my friend. We have had a lot of fun together. watermelon, King Arthur, farting, apples to apples, skip-bo, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and of course swapping books and our own writing. I love reading your writing and editing. I also love sharing my stuff with you. You are an amazing writer and I like having you there as a sound board to bounce things off of.
There have also been times when we have irritated each other. Times when i have been excruciatingly stubborn and times when you have done exactly what I told you not to do only to get yourself into the trouble I specifically warned you about. We are both the kind of people that have to do things our way first. We are both the kind of people who only take advice when you truly want it. I am glad that that has never stood in the way of our friendship. I am glad that when the other is doing something a bit dumb we don't rub it in their faces. We just kind of say, well, lets try and get you out of this mess. It isn't about who is right or who is wrong. It is about being ourselves and loving the other person for being themselves. Our friendship is good because we have know each other's strengths, what makes us each wonderful as well as our weaknesses and faults.
True friends like you don't come around everyday and I hope you know that I value you for that, for being a true friend to me.
Love,
Your Always Friend,
Dani
