Hey what’s up,
So it is currently early March of 2020 that I am writing this, and that means Evelyn and I have know each other for 4 years. That’s crazy for me to think about, we have gone through and grown so much over the course of our friendship. From trying to hide from the gang that one day after school and have it ultimately fail. Then to the see Dr. Warby say that legendary phrase. To the times where we spent entire days just walking around Franklin talking about life. And even being there for each other at our absolute lowest, when we both needed each other’s support after breakups.
I have to be honest, I’ve never had a friend as supportive as you prior to meeting you. I had great friends but most of them didn’t understand me as well as you did. Especially when I was in high school and admittedly kinda lost in terms of who I was and figuring out who I needed to be. Looking back, you made me realize that I can be happy with who I am and not need to mold myself into someone I’m not. If it wasn’t for this confidence I would have never been able to put myself out there and meet people. You were the first friend I had where I could be confident in being myself and never feel like I was just someone who tagged along.
If I were to pick a favorite memory of our friendship, I would say that it would be when we went on a walk in the Summer of 2016 and we walked so much that my heel was blistered, but I didn’t care. We talked about Harry Potter, life at that time, probably James Bond at one point or another, we hung out at the common and it was just all around had a great day. Btw we should do that more in the summer.
And now here you are 4 years later and you are doing extraordinary things literally across the world. I want you to know that I am so proud of you and that I think this is an experience that you will definitely never forget, and I think you will have so much fun these last few months in Thailand and Malaysia. I can’t wait to hear all the stories when you get wifi again. And as much as I can’t wait to talk to you again, I really can’t wait for you to come home.
Love,
Dan (the man)
