True Confessions

One of those things where you write 20 things about 20 people you know... and all the things you could never say to them, yada yada yada. Don't ask questions.

1. You are the coolest person ever. Seriously. You don’t think you are. But you are. I want to do the stuff you do, know the people you know, go the places you go; your life is like one big (sometimes overly dramatic) adventure, and I love it. I wish you’d open up to me about stuff, tell me what’s going on in your life. I won’t tell your secrets. I won’t judge you. I know that you sometimes do things that I myself would not do, but that shouldn’t change our friendship. I just want us to be honest with each other and build our trust.

2. I am so grateful for our friendship. You probably don’t think about this as much as I do, but I think we gained a lot from everything we went through. We learned so much about each other and about ourselves, and that’s why we’re so close now. I love that we can do nothing, say nothing, and just enjoy each other’s company. I don’t have a lot of relationships like that.

3. You’re like my sister, my lover, my friend and my role model all rolled into one. I enjoy every minute we spend together. You can always make me smile. I can talk to you about pretty much anything. We have so many memories left to make together, and I can hardly wait!

4. I really enjoy your company and love when we get to spend time together, even though we’re both really busy. I can’t wait to see how our friendship will grow!

5. You’re the weirdest person I’ve ever met. But I’m glad to have found closure with you.

6. You have really strong, close friendships with people, but I don’t feel like I’m one of them, and that makes me sad. I wish we did more together and talked more.

7. You have NO idea how much I flippin MISS YOU or how happy you make me when we’re together, no matter what we’re doing. You’re so strong, always willing to try anything once. You care so much about everyone you know, no matter how close to you they actually are. You work your tail off, and it pays. Your faith is amazing. You have seen and done so much, been so many places, met so many people, and it has made you a really grounded person. Sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough to be your friend because I don’t have those experiences, but I want to have them, and I want to share them with YOU.

8. I don’t have as many memories with you as I’d like, but the ones I have are all amazing. You have a lot of wisdom and insight into people and relationships. At the same time, you’re so much fun to be with! I admire how balanced you are. You can be crazy and silly when the time is right, but you work hard and take your friendships seriously.

9. Was there something there? For a minute I thought so, but then you proved me wrong. We have a lot in common; we should hang out again. There doesn't have to be something if you don't want.

10. You’re so good. You love God and I know that in everything you’re trying to do what he wants. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m a bad person (even though everyone else thinks I’m so “good.”) You try to convince me and yourself that you don’t care, but it’s normal, good, and healthy to care. Don’t give up so easily! You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ^_^

11. You don’t care about me, though you were really good at making it look like you did for a while there. You’re shallow and a liar. Eff you.

12. You are so awesome! I totally have a girl crush on you. It’s like, I try so hard to think outside the box, and you just… don't even HAVE a box. You’re brilliant.

13. It sort of feels like you’ve completely disappeared from my life. That’s what you get for moving so far away this year. We should be less lazy and do stuff together, because I miss you and your ridiculous sense of humor.

14. I love having awkward conversations with you. It’s so funny. We both love to laugh, but I know that if I ever need you to be there for me, you will.

15. We don’t hang out at all now. It’s probably both of our faults. Your positive attitude and cheerful demeanor make the people around you happy, too.

16. I don’t want to need you, but I do. (And I’ll never tell you straight up.)

17. I admire your quirks. You’re okay with being different. You don’t even have to try to be cool; you just are.

18. You’re so awkward, and I love that about you. You just say whatever comes to mind without worrying about it. Nothing embarrasses you.

19. I miss being best friends with you. We were such a big part of each other’s lives for so long, and then it all just went away. Where did it go? What’s stopping us from being that close now? You’re so willing to talk about everything in your life with the person closest to me, yet you never tell me anything. That hurts. Why don’t you trust me?

20. We’re going to be friends for a long, long time. There is simply no way around it. We have a ton of differences, and we definitely butt heads, but I’m really excited that we’ve been able to go places and talk about things more lately than we ever used to. That’s how I always wanted us to be, and I always got so jealous of my other friends who had that sort of relationship in their lives. I think you get down on yourself too much. Don’t take life so hard. Keep a positive attitude: even the things that you don’t really want to do can become an adventure, a learning experience, or just plain fun if you let them! I hope you know that you can always tell me anything. I won’t tattle on you. Pinky swear.
