Dear S.J,

Where do I even begin with this letter addressed to you?

First of all, thank you. Thank you for absolutely everything that you have done for me, for supporting me, for helping me to get through possibly two of my roughest patches to date, for being consistently wonderful and just consistent overall. You are an incredible human being and I honestly have no clue as to how I got so lucky as to have you in my life.

You have had quite a few hurdles which you have had to hop over in the past few years and I know that sometimes they can seem quite daunting and too difficult, but look at where you are right now — you've managed to get over them! And although you may have stumbled a few times or felt the need to start over again, you've made it and now you're into the motion and are ultimately on the right track and you're off. You're off and you're striving, to go to extreme lengths for other people and to better yourself overall, I believe.

You're possibly one of the most selfless people that I have ever met and it truly does hurt when people think otherwise. Like how could anyone ever paint you as being an awful human being when all you do is help, help, help and push people to achieve and reach their full potential, it really does not make sense to me. So please, S, please do not ever let those people, who have painted you in this negative way, ever get to you because their opinions are invalid as they are far from being true. You are one of the kindest, sweetest, and most loving people that I have ever come across and anyone who has ever had the privilege of just knowing you or even having one conversation with you should feel so damn lucky. You are that one four-leaf clover in a field of three-leaf clovers.

You and I have had our ups and downs, but for some reason recently we've just been travelling upwards. Of course there is always going to be dips but at the moment we are travelling at this exponential rate and we are only going up. I guess it's because you and I both have reconnected recently and now understand each other on a much more intimate level than just classmates. You and I now talk about the real stuff and I suppose through initiation of those real conversations we have become a lot closer. And I am so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to reconnect with you and connect with you on a deeper level. So damn grateful.

I find it funny how everyone thinks that you and I have this secret love affair and that you and I are currently a thing. When yes, to the outside world, we may appear a lot closer than just friends but in reality when either of us do something as little as touch the other on the shoulder we curl up into a ball and just feel YUCK. So, so, so fricken funny honest to god. Just know that I do love you, so fricken much at that but not in that way.

Darlin', you're going places. And I truly do believe that. You put so much time and effort into the things that you're passionate about and the results that come from this really does reflect in your work as it always completed or performed at such a high standard. You are a big inspiration to me and I'm not going to lie about that.

I hope that some day soon you find someone who will treat you with the highest amounts of respect and love because that is what you deserve, nothing less. I love you so much and I really do hope that you understand that. Next year is gonna be our year, man, we're gonna fricken conquer and make 2019 ours.

With love,
Ruby x
