Dear Anonymous,

To: Strawberry Secrets

August 27
Dear Anonymous,

   Up until recently I wasn't sure if I'd ever seen you let loose. Sure I'd seen you laugh and smile, but you always seemed tense.

It was like if you smiled too wide or you laughed too loud a secret would escape your lips.

   You are always so genuinely kind and caring. I tell you everything. You know some of my best kept secrets. The secrets I keep hidden away from those closest to me. You are always there for me when I need to talk to someone.

We've recently become better friends and that's what has made this past week bearable. You can always tell when I'm sad, or mad, or anything in between.

You always know when I'm at my breaking point. When I need to be surrounded by others and especially surrounded by food, milkshakes to be exact.

So that's what we did. We got milkshakes. And you made sure I was surrounded by my friends. And most of all, you made sure that my secret stayed safe.

   Then I saw you do something I've never seen you do before. You danced. You danced like no one was watching, but I was. You danced with me and the rest of us. You let loose.

That showed me that you trust me as much as I trust you. You in a way proved to me that you actually like being my friend. So thank you for being so kind and understanding. And thank you for being there for me, and thank you, so very much, for being my friend.

Sincerely,
Me
