I met someone who saved my sanity. I was going through a really rough patch when we started talking, he was funny and he just said "Let's be best friends" and it stuck. I can't imagine my life without him. When I met him, I was having my issues with drama from people who had issues with themselves. He stepped into the picture and everything changed.

He didn't care how much I complained, vented, etcetera...he listened to it and he put up with me, and helped me through it. If that boy hadn't taught me to love myself, I'd still have the major confidence issues. He was the popular guy; football, talked to plenty of girls, always had a girlfriend but never really cared, only cared that they were hot and he had someone to make out with. We all know that guy. At least, that's what he seemed like at first. But slowly, he changed... at least in my opinion. I like to think that I'm the one who changed him. But I don't know. When him and I were friends, his girlfriends hated me, which is understandable. I mean, their boyfriend was really close to this other girl, telling her everything and hanging out with her all the time.

I remember that when we first started getting closer, I remember that boosting my confidence. I do still remember crying, though, over petty girls that I used to be friends with that didn't like me. I didn't tell him all of the times I cried, because I wanted to seem stronger than crying. As if I could handle it, when I knew that I couldn't, but he gave me the strength I needed when I was weak. And to him, I want to say thank you. Even when you never knew everything... thank you.
