I have never been very good at expressing my feelings to those around me, and I am definitely not a profound writer. However, I know that it is time to write a few words to you because I owe you more than I can express. So, here it goes.

To you, my soulmate and my best friend for life. I can never express how thankful I am to have a best friend like you in my life. I wanted to thank you for always being there for me throughout the years and for being my best friend. You are the sister that I never had, and you have always been my biggest support in life.

Besides my immediate family, you are the only person that has always stood beside me and refused to give up on me. When others turned their back on me, you never did, and there were times when I know I deserved for you to turn your back on me. You never left me hanging and never once turned away from me.

I wanted to thank you for staying by my side through all my bad relationships, and always convincing me that the most recent douchebag didn't deserve me or my tears. Even though I never listened, I wanted to thank you for always warning me about the "wrong" guy that I was crushing over, and for always telling me that they weren't good enough for me. You never turned your back when I didn't listen, and you stood beside me knowing that he would eventually crush my heart.

There have been times in my life when even I didn't believe in what I was doing or myself, but you were always there. You always believed in me, which meant more to me than you will ever know. Thank you for always being there to help raise me up when I failed, and for catching me whenever I fell.

Every day, you were always there to put a smile on my face, even when all I wanted to do was cry. Which during those times, you were always there to wipe away my tears and tell me it would be okay.

Thank you for always being able to see through me. There were times when all I would say was, "I am okay." However, you knew better and you made sure that you stood by me, knowing that I was the furthest thing from being okay.

There were times that I thought I would never be able to put the pieces of my heart back together, but you were always there to help pick up the pieces, even when I just knew that it could never be done. You have always been there to push me forward and make sure that I was always the best version of myself that I could possibly be.

You never allowed me to settle for anything less than I deserved, and even when I doubted myself, you were there to remind me of how strong I am and what my true worth is. However, the most important thing that I want to thank you for is for never trying to change me into someone I am not. You never forced me to change just to match your standards, and you always accepted me for who I am, no matter who that might be at the time.

No matter my flaws and imperfections, thank you for always accepting me and loving me even when I showed the parts that you didn't quite like. Thank you for always showing that you care about me, regardless of the circumstances. For always loving me regardless if I was showing my worst side or my best side. You always stood by my side whether I was sick or healthy.

You never abandoned me during the rough times of my life, and you never treated me different whether it was a time for crying or a time for partying. You always were there to hold my hand through the bad times but also during the good times, and you were there to share my most painful memories, as well as the beautiful ones. 

I know that regardless of what is going on, I can always rely on you to be there for me. Thank you for always being my rock and standing by me through thick and thin and never judging me regardless of my questionable choices.
