Dear Best Friend, Everything is about to change. I remember the day we met in kindergarten. It was the start of the after-school program we were both enrolled in. We were standing outside by the monkey bars, with woodchips beneath our shoes and sunshine on our cheeks. Little did we know we were about to become inseparable. For the next 13 years, we would be battling homework, childhood drama, and being split up in class. Then we would graduate together, Now, we're here. I'm saying goodbye to all I've ever known, and packing my things to move 100+ miles south. but it’s just not the same. It’s a once in a lifetime experience, and I feel like I’m missing out on it. I know you would never be upset with me for it, but I already feel guilty about it. I honestly don’t know if I would have survived high school without you. Through everything that happened there, like missing our hometown, meeting amazing new people, and becoming best friends, we were together. People always say friendships never last, but, boy, we proved them wrong. I already miss coming home and gossiping. I miss binge watching our favorite show together and deciding we needed to make a late night food run. We could literally do anything and have a great time doing it. Even studying was fun because we were always on the same page. Even when everything is changing, one thing will stay constant, and that’s us. You have been my best friend literally forever, and some distance isn’t going to change that. I’m not going to replace you or forget about you. I promise I will visit at least once a month, and we will have super long phone calls when necessary.
One thing I know for sure: we will always be best friends. Sincerely, Me
His audience was mostly puritan as was the case in the 18th century. His audience was probably scared mindless because his sermons usually included scary and vivid description of suffering, hell, sins, the devil, which was all supposed to scare you into being a better christian.
