Day 3- My Parental Units :)

Dear Aiti and Dad,
Well shoot.
I'm 18! It's crazy, I'm the last one, how are you guys going to live without me once I move out? ;) Haha. Okay sorry. I'll be serious now.
I love you so much. You are such great parents! You teach me new things and you have raised me so well, I'm proud of the person I am becoming, and I am proud to be your daughter.
I really appreciate that you raised me up in the church. The church is so important to me, and though for a bit, I was unsure of the church, I am so grateful now to have it in my life.
It teaches me so much and it gives me a good foundation.
You give me a good foundation.
I've learned so many good things from you!
I mean, Dad, how many girls know how to tie flies? Or identify edible mushrooms? I'm not as good at it as you are, but I could definitely survive in the wilderness for a while if need be.
And Aiti, you have taught me so many things about how to be a good mother. I know that one day, I'll have kids and I will use a lot of the skills that I have learned from you. You're so nurturing to all of us kids, and that is so important.
I love you guys so much! Thank you for all that you've done for me already:)
Love you tons!,
Sofia

Day 2- To my crush. Eep.

Sooo I'm runnin' a little behind on these, so I'm gonna do two a day. I already did one. Here's numero dos:

Dear Mr. Crush,
You are amazing.
Like seriously, you're simply amazing. You blow my mind every day and you teach me so much about things I never knew about.
You're kind, loving, an amazing listener, and you understand. I feel like I can talk to you about everything.
I love that about you.
You treat me like a girl. That's a weird feeling. We've discussed that before, I always kinda feel like a guy, but you treat me like a lady, and you are such a gentleman:)
It's weird.
I feel like I could talk about you for hours, but then writing this, it's so hard for me. There are just no words to describe what you mean to me, just as a friend.
I love that we can talk for hours. And we talk about such simple things! I never feel like a loser when I talk to you, you make me feel like you actually care about what I have to say. That's really really important to me. You don't treat me like I'm any less of a person than you are, you respect me.
I love the feeling of protection I get when I'm around you. I feel like I am instantly going to be okay, all the time.
I wish I could be a better person for you. I wish I knew how you felt! Oh man, if I only knew how you felt, how that would change my entire outlook.. But, thus is life, I suppose.
I have to be patient.
Which is hard for someone like me! I'm a very curious person, you know that, I get these dumb ideas and then you're like "Oh, that's cool!" and I'm like, "Crap I sound like an idiot."
Freaking story of my life.
Why do you put up with me? Ha. I don't really expect us to go far, even though there are others who would disagree, but I hope that we can at least be friends forever. You're so important to me and I care so much about you!
It's very rare that I find someone who can understand my weirdness!
There are only 2 people on this earth that understand my weirdness, and I'm so glad that you are one of them:)
No one else knows me like you do.
I love your family too! Like holy crow, they're such great people:) They are such good examples and make me want to be a better person.
I really appreciate the friend that you are to me, and I hope that I am able to be that kind of a friend to you.
Love,
Sofia
