Tips to Personalize a Letter for Your Best Friend
A personal touch makes your letter mean more. Here’s what you can add:
- Pick a memory – that rainy day walk or first coffee meet-up shows you remember good times.
- Tell them when you first knew they’d be your close friend – like that time, they helped without asking.
- List their quirks – their loud laugh or love for bad movies makes them who they are.
- Name what makes them different – how they notice when others feel sad or always plan the fun.
- Add your secret jokes – those silly words or moments that still make you both smile.
- Mention when they helped you – like during a bad breakup or tough exam week.
- Share what they taught you – maybe being braver or speaking up more.
- Include a funny fail you faced together – the time you got lost or burnt dinner.
- Talk about future plans – trips you want to take or goals to reach together.
- Point out their wins – when they got that job or ran that race, you felt proud, too.
