tldr; i realized how much i miss my friends, so i wrote them a love letter
Life can suck sometimes. Like... really, really suck. Whichever long distance friend is reading this ('LDF' because lazy), we probably met at a pivotal moment in my life. Maybe it was one of the 7 times I moved while a military brat? When it was my first double-digit birthday (10)? That time I shipped myself off to Ireland for a year? Maybe you're the one that moved away (very rare for me!). There's a bunch of reasons why we're LDFs right now, and let me tell you, I hate all of 'em.
Chances are we still keep in contact. Every minute, day, week or biweekly, whatever. Via snapchat probably. Even when we aren't in contact, know that I miss you with my entire being. It's kind of a miracle that we're still friends, but that's because friendships, especially long distance ones, take a lot of frickin patience and work. I would even argue it's harder than a romantic relationship because if that ends then you have your friends... if you lose your relationship with your LDFs who's left? (Especially if you're eternally single like me lolol.)
I love you.
I think about you all the time. (Literally.)
There isn't a moment that passes by that I don't wish we could just drive to each other and hang out in person.
Thank you for being my person.
Thank you for putting up with my endless snapchats, tiktok comment tags, instagram likes, and whatsapp spams.
Thank you for picking up conversation where it left off 2 weeks ago like nothing happened.
In the world we live in right now (don't even get me started on corona... although it has brought us closer together probably), you're one of the only consistent things in my life and I'm forever grateful to you for that -- maybe a little extra today because it's Thanksgiving weekend as I'm writing this. I didn't want this to be too long or too sappy because I probably tell you I love you a lot and you are probably sick of me sometimes... but here's a more permanent reminder of how much I appreciate you and our friendship.
You know who you are. I'll love you from anywhere.
(Not everyone is pictured! Ain't nobody got time for that.)
