I don't know how fake our friendship actually was before this point, but looking back, it all seemed so shallow, from my side and your side. Nine years, and I don't even feel the slightest sense of loss. Seems almost sad.

Dear _________,

I've been waiting for you to grow up for God knows how long. I've been patient and I've been forgiving and I've been willing to look over all your childish antics, but you're a high school senior now - when will you grow out of your middle school mentality? I'm your friend, not your competition. But if you keep this up, I might as well be neither.

Dear _____,

Where did you come from and why have we never been friends before this? You're fucking crazy but I love you. Thank you for understanding me and knowing me so well. You're cool. I hope you don't judge me for all the hate and resentment that comes out of my mouth.

Dear ______,

It's almost sad that we had the opportunity to get close last year but never acted on it. It's also sad that the only thing that made us closer was a mutual resentment towards a certain person - but hey, I'm not complaining. You're surprisingly outspoken with your feelings, and it made me feel slightly accomplished when you finally opened up to me. Thank you for trusting me and understanding me and never failing to encourage me to slap that bitch in the face.

Dear _____,

You make me incredibly happy. Thank you for being my personal energy drink/pillow/source of motivation whenever I need a boost. We're amazing. But most of that is just because you're amazing.

Dear _____,

I wish you lived closer. We'd be best friends. You could be my gay best friend.

Dear ________,

I'm glad we're both mature enough to handle this. Thank you for being understanding and having my back even if we are complete assholes to each other most of the time. Believe it or not, I still think we make a pretty good team. When we cooperate, everything falls into place - you know that and I know that and everyone else knows that. Let's just let both of our prides fall a little to boost each other up. I'd like that.
