I just wanted to thank you for making me feel wanted. I don't know if you could see it, but I was struggling. I didn't feel like I belonged, and that's why I buried myself in the classwork and was a good student. I needed to feel some form of acceptance, I didn't have a friend group to make me laugh or make me feel wanted. But then you showed up and introduced me to your group, and I felt like a stranger at first. I knew who every single one of them were, and yet I felt like I was intruding on something. You had to practically tell me it was okay to hang out with you guys. And when I finally got over the whole awkwardness of it, I felt at home. You really helped me, you helped me realize how I should deal with a lot of things, and realize parts of myself I never imagined I'd be able to uncover. You were the light at the end of a dark hallway we have all been trying to escape. You let me try out new things with you, and told me it was okay if I liked them or disliked them, because I still have time to figure myself out. You have been one of the best people to ever come into my life, and if I have it my way you will never leave it. I've only known you for about a year now, but I can't bear to think about my life without you. You don't seem to think your special, but I can easily list a hundred ways you are. You gave me the courage to come out to people, and told me to embrace who I am. You've made me feel alive, and like I am in control of my own life. You've helped me confront my problems and told me it's okay to stand for what you believe in. You introduced me to some of my favorite people (yourself included) and gave me experiences I wouldn't trade for anything. You gave me my first real relationship and the first kiss I had hoped mine would turn out to be. I love you so much, and I would hate life if you left mine. Even though we're just friends now, I still love every moment we spend together!

So, just thank you for everything you've done for me, even though I didn't deserve you to begin with.
