To My Best Friend: You're A Weirdo and Someone Is Going To Love You For It

You make the most unattractive, weird, crazy faces, but they make me, and everyone else laugh like crazy. You can make everything a joke and your wit is top-notch. 

You are so unique and special. You are the girl with bright colored hair in movies. Your hair is bright colored as a metaphor for your bright soul.

The nerdy guy falls for you instantly. He thinks you’re beautiful and interesting. He loves everything that makes you different and he sees the beauty in all your weirdness. 

This stuff doesn’t just happen in movies, trust me. 

I know you get discouraged. I know you think that all guys are disillusioned frat boys who only want girls who are tan and blonde, but that’s not true. 

I see how guys look at you, and I hope one day you see it too. Maybe if you didn’t always look like you wanted to punch someone at the bar, then finding someone would happen sooner, but I suspect some guy will come up and say something funny to you, you’ll crack a smile and I’ll slowly disappear to refill my moscow mule.

I’ll tell the bartender, it’s love; and I’ll retell this story on your wedding day. 

I am adamant about this because I believe special people like you are meant to find people equally as special, and special people aren’t just lying around at any old dive bar. 

They are rare and hard to find, just like you.

So, one day it will happen for you. This guy will laugh until he can’t breathe at your jokes, like I already do. He will love your soul. He will think your beautiful on days you don’t feel like it. 

And, he will remind you your special on days when I’m not there. 

You are a diamond my friend, shine bright.
