I haven’t been active on this account in years, but forever it will be a special place. I’ll never delete this.
This account may be cringy and something from my past, but it changed my life. I started out by writing fanfics on here, making content for fandoms and most importantly making friends.
On December 10th of 2015, I got a message from @lilrae22 — she was the first and only person to respond to the hundreds of reblogs of ‘internet friend applications’ of sorts that I had on my page. I barely thought anything of it for the first couple months of chatting.
I found out she had turned 20 only 6 days before we met, she said happy birthday for the first time 6 days after we met, when I turned 15 and she’s been the first one to say it to me since.
As time past, we moved from here to talking on Kik. There’s years of memories buried in their servers. We even had an LGBT Instagram account together with a bunch of friends of ours for over a year.
This year marks 5 years since we met. I’ll be turning the age that she was when we met. We are best friends, bonded by years of memories and video chats and posts online. She’s been the only person to stick around in my life, even from 3,000 miles away on the complete opposite end of the country from me.
The week of June 10th just past recently. It was the worst week I’ve had in a long, long time. Lillian was there for every second of it. She answered every call, every text, anytime I needed my best friend, she was there.
That’s why I decided, 5 days later on June 15th that it was time.
I bought my plane ticket out to California that morning for that coming Sunday, June 21st.
I landed in the airport at 6:20pm, then I finally landed in my best friends arms after 4 and a half years of planning at 6:30pm.
To anybody that still follows me, the people I knew, the friends I’ve made, thank you for getting me here today. If you know me at all, you’ll know this was the biggest moment of my life.
I get 10 days in my dream state with my best friend and I owe it all to this website.
And to you, Lillian,
Meeting you was more than worth the wait. I love you, I’m so glad you’re here and that I’m here with you. Someday 3,000 miles will be a long forgotten memory, buried beneath thousands of memories of us living just down the hall from each other.
Someday everything will be perfect, I promise. Until then (and forever after that) I’ll be by your side, even if it’s from 3,000 miles away.
