1. Never Change

2. This is Ricky. We’ve known each other for a
couple years now and he’s one of the best
people I’ve ever met. I can tell him anything
in the world and would never judge me for
it. He is one of my best friends. I honestly
don’t know what I would do without him.
He brings each day happiness and
excitement. He understands me and I
understand him. We get along so great, and
he knows how to make me laugh when I’m
feeling down. I wish he would give himself
more credit, because Ricky, you are an
amazing person and a really great friend. I
love you.

3. Now this girl, we go back to about the
4th grade. This is Taylor. I’m pretty sure
I have more in common with you than
anyone else. We have some of the best
memories that I will never forget. You
are beautiful inside and out, and I wish
you’d realize that. You’re funny and
cool. Me and you were always the same
throughout our life, we were the nerdy,
weird kids that never spoke unless it was
to each other. We had this special thing
that no one else understood. We’ve
never really got into huge fights, just
little annoyances here and there. I know
we’ll be friends forever. I love you.

4. Eli, oh Eli. Well first off I’ve known you
since about 6th grade but we just started
getting close about 2 years ago, I’d say. You’re
courageous and don’t give a crap about what
everyone else thinks of you, I like that about
you. You’ve always been there for me and I
feel like I can tell you anything. We also have
some really great memories that will be stuck
in my head forever. You push me to do new
things, and I have you too. I love how
supportive and caring you are, it’s one of
your many charms. But what I love most
about you is the great friend you’ve been to
me. I couldn’t ask for a better gift than what
your friendship has given me. I love you.

5. Brooklyn, about eighth grade year we started
becoming close friends and ever since we’ve been
getting closer and closer. I love how happy you are
and how your personality shines through you
constantly. Even though I tell you to quiet down
sometimes, I love how loud you are, it’s quite
amusing actually. I know I can tell you anything and
you not say a word about it. I wish you’d stop being
so hard on yourself. Seriously, you’re perfect the way
you are. You’re gorgeous, smart, talented, and funny.
There’s absolutely no reason for you to put yourself
down. I know we will keep making memories and
stay close friends, I just know it. I love you.

6. This is Marisa. Marisa, you’ve been my friend
since we were little kids. Me and you recently
haven’t been as close but you are still one of
my closest friends. I still remember most
days I’ve spent with you as a child. You made
my childhood so great. We would get lost in
our imagination every time we hung out. I
would do anything to relive those days I
spent with you. You are absolutely hilarious!
You’re beautiful, smart, adventurous, and
someone very special to me. Even though we
barely see each other anymore, you will
always have a special place in my heart. I
could go on for days talking about our
memories. I know we will make more too. I
love you.

7. Taylor, right when I met you all the way back in 1st
grade, we automatically became best friends. No one
really knows it at school but our friendship is still
there. You’re gorgeous, funny, smart, and just an
amazing person. We have sooooo many memories it’s
crazy. Even though we don’t hang out as much
anymore, our extremely close friendship is still there. I
know I can tell you anything and everything. You
made my childhood be the best possible. Every time I
think about us together as kids I tear up, because I
would do absolutely anything to go back. But I have
to face the facts that we are growing up. Thank you
for being here since 1st grade. I know that no matter
how old we get, we will always be best friends. I can’t
wait to see what the future has in store for you and I.
I love you.

9. • This was a thank you to my best friends. I love each one of you, I honestly
don’t know what I’d do without you guys. I’ve had the best times of my life
with all of you. I hope we all stay friends, which I think we will. You all have
a special place in my heart that will never go away. I hope that the bond
between me and all of you will never change. Hope you guys like it.
