BestFriendsForever (?)

Since I'm returning home so early I've decided to write a letter to Lia which I will give to her upon our reunion. This will give you a little insight into our relationship:

Lia, it's our time my love. It's actually been 5 years since I could actually say that I have a best friend, and I'm so glad that time is finally over. We have so much in common, I love that we can practically read each other's minds most of the time. We can get wild together, but we also know how to just chill. We're smart, we don't go overboard, you know? I think it's awesome cuz I know we can just do whatever without having to worry. We are gonna have so many amazing times in our lifetime. Bitchez ain't shit but hoes and tricks, but we're better than that.

Even though I'm starting a new chapter in my life I want you to remain a huge part of it. I know that might be hard because of how busy we are but know that I'm always here for you, for REAL! We are so alike. I can tell that you've seen some shit in your life which is what makes you so mature for your age. I've been through a lot too, so I wanna use my past experiences to help you get past the hard times. I just wish that when I was your age I had someone older to help me so I didn't have to learn all of my lessons the hard way.

If you ever need ANYTHING I want you to ask me, but also, if you ever find I'm being too over-bearing or giving you too much advice just let me know. I don't wanna seem or act like a know-it-all cuz I'm SO not... I can learn from you just as much as you can learn from me. I look at us as equals so don't get me wrong or anything. I'm not trying to be your big sister, cuz we're best buds yo! Just know that I'm lookin'out for you like a good friend should.

Every year I've been in school I've had mountains of trouble with friends. I've never stayed with the same group of people for very long because something always seemed to go wrong. Sometimes it was my fault and sometimes it was them, but regardless of who is at fault it really sucks losing friends. I've learned tons from it. It was really hard but it also taught me that no matter what there are always more people to meet and more (even better!) things to do!! Never dwell on the past or stick with friends who just aren't right anymore. There are better and brighter things around every corner. Just keep your head up and move on!

One of the major problems in my friendships was gossip. It's so easy to talk about other people and get into the trap of always hearing and spreading gossip. I know it's fun and everybody does it (you and I included) but there's a line we don't want to cross. I don't trust people who are always in other people's business cuz you can never tell when they're gonna turn on you and tell other people what you've said to them. I've learned my lesson the hard way and no matter how juicy the gossip is it's never worth breaking trust or losing friends. I want you to know that I will NEVER tell anyone about private matters in your life. I know you're a great girl and although I do trust you I need to know that I will never be the topic of your convos with other peeps, MKAY?! I tell you things that I don't want people knowing-you know more about me than anyone, so keep it between you and I.

Love ya girl ----- UNCONDITIONAL! <3
