Dear Tree

    Hi. 

I don't think you understand just quite what you mean to me.

I don't think you understand exactly what you have done for me. 

Did you know you have legitimately saved my life? More than once now?

You do not understand how thankful I am that you are in my life. I know everyone needs a friendship like ours. I do know that much. I do know that I've never had a friend care about me so much. I have never had a friend this close, and I am just so incredibly thankful and appreciative of you. I know you don't take people to casting crowns. I know you don't do a lot of things with many people. I know you are so careful as to who you allow into your life and who you share your energy with and I just wanted to thank you for choosing me as one of those few. I just want to say thank you for literally everything you have ever done for me.

Thank you for saving my life. Literally. Twice.

Thank you for not giving up on me, even when I wanted to give up on myself. Thank you for allowing me to be me, without judgment. Thank you for being accepting. Thank you for being a safe space, when I feel like I have nowhere safe to go. Thank you for being the literal soul fam that I needed and for bringing me to so many people. Yeah, others helped. But you played your own special part, and you continue to do so. Don't ever think that you are overlooked or overshadowed by anyone else, ever.

You mean the absolute world to me, and I could never thank you enough for everything you do for me. I wish I could repay you somehow. One day. One day I will be able to pay you back for all that you have done. I'm not sure I can put a monetary value on it, but I will do my absolute best. Thank you for being YOU.

A dose of Tylernol is exactly what I needed in my life :)
