Dear friend❤️
I don't want a perfect friendship.
I want your unedited text messages, your inconveniences, and your spaghetti stained sweater to wear.
I don't want perfectly worded answers, or on-time birthday presents, or well scheduled lunch dates.
I want you to call me up in the middle of your cry. Truly. When all your words are choking sobs and your nose is dripping with snot, call me up. I want you to never be afraid to call.
I want you to tell me honestly how that made you feel when I said what I did. I want to hear about the consuming doubts you've had this past week. I want to hear about the random inspiration you received on your walk yesterday.
If our schedules are full and we wanna catch up, let's go run errands together. Or I'll come pick pumpkins with you. Or you can come color bulletins with me. Let's work together.
You can be grumpy with me. You don't need to be in the party mood to hang out. You don't need to be brimming with things to hash out. We don't even need to talk…
We can sit for an hour and not utter a word.
We will be irked at each other cuz that's just how real friendships are.
But if it's causing hiccups, let's talk through it, ok?
Let's agree to disagree.
Let's call each other out on our junk.
I don't want you to feel like you're a burden for sharing your burdens with me. I want to hear about your mistakes and messes. I want to hear about how you dropped the laundry detergent at the checkout counter and it split open.
I want your just-woke-up-from-nap voice notes, and your i-need-a-hug requests.
You don't need to be a perfect friend. Just be your unedited, magical, wobbly self.
I want a real friendship with you.
And I'll be that for you❤️
Love you muchly,
Your friend
