To my friend,
I can’t wait for all the things we are gonna do later on in life. First of all, I want to travel with you so that we can see so many places and explore this big world together. I want to see pretty green fields full of flowers, and the nice warm sandy beach. Go to the desert and see the stars because apparently, that is the best place to go. When we are above 21 we will go see colorful and loud New Orleans like we always talked about and I can’t wait for us to go to our first pride parade!! I wanna go to Mexico so I can show you my culture and maybe we can take a trip to Europe and go to Portugal. I wanna go snorkeling with coral reef-safe sunscreen so that we can see all the amazing fish and sea creatures we have never seen before. But the world isn’t the only thing I want to see with you.
I wanna see us graduate!! I mean we have been on this journey together and even though it is sad to see this chapter end, it will also be exciting to look back and see how far we have come. Can’t wait to take pictures of us in our graduation gowns, it will be surreal. I can’t wait to see us go to college and kick ass! I can’t wait to see us put to use our knowledge to save the world!! Of course, we can’t save the whole world, well maybe we will, but I know we will help it before we go! Leave our mark! I can’t wait to see us graduate college and recreate the same picture we took for high school, that will be funny. I can’t wait for our first day on the job, you will probably work for the government and be a badass politician helping people here at home, and I will be working in a non-profit, helping people overseas in need. I can’t wait for you to tell me of your first love and watch you go crazy for her. I bet those talks will be fun. And of course, watching you get married to the women of your dreams will make me cry tears of joy. If she dares to break your heart, I will be coming for her and socking her with a peanut butter sock. Excuse the violence. I might go to jail in the future if I do that, can’t wait to see that too!! I can’t wait for you to get little children if you want children. If you do, I will be the best aunt I can be and spoil them while you get it on with your future wifey. I'LL BE THE BEST SIDE WOMEN!!! I'll take your kids to the beach while you have a lovely date night with her. I can’t wait for us to grow old together and go on old lady adventures, I wanna be that type of old lady that goes sky diving even though it's bad for my old little heart or maybe an adventure tamer like little old lady picnics gossiping about the people walking by.
Anyway, the point is I can’t wait for us to grow up. So don’t you ever DARE to leave me on this beautiful journey by myself. The thing I can’t wait to see the most out of all of this is you finally, and truly being happy for yourself. Being happy. I know you can do it. I can’t wait for you to tell me that you love yourself and you mean it with your whole heart. I can’t wait. It will happen and I know it will be hard and maybe it won’t happen for a while and maybe you will be like this for a while, but even if its 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, I don’t care how long it takes I'll wait for you and I'll always be here to try and make you love yourself. Because you are so amazing and I can’t wait for you to see that all by yourself. I can’t wait for the future and all the endless hugs, tears, and laughs we will share. So please don’t give up.
-Love, your friend :)

ReplyDeleteHi Angela! This story is so cute and the part where you said you might go to jail for socking someone with a pb sock made me laugh haha. You seem like such a loving and caring person and I hope you get to accomplish all these goals with your friend in the future :) -Charmaine Luciano
ReplyDeleteI loved this and related to this so much. Having that connection with someone is so unmatched and so irreplaceable. Not having that person in your life can get challenging sometimes and I think you hinted at that towards the end. However, it mostly showed the hope, joy, and excitement that comes along with having a close friend like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful piece I love the relationship you have with your best friends. This piece reminded me how much I can't wait for the future with my best friends and how lucky I am to have them. I hope you and your best friend find everything you're looking for but in life and each other. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAngie,

The love you have for whoever you wrote this for is so obvious and is clearly very powerful. Nicely written :)) I love the part about the old ladies.
This piece is absolutely adorable and totally relatable! Your friend is very lucky to have you in her life, and I hope you get to do all of the things you are planning. Great job!
