It’s a pretty lucky thing to
have a friend that outlasts those awkward years of growing up, drama, adulthood,
marriage etc . No matter what the situation, you will always find them supporting
you through every success, failure, and all of those random boring nights.
Your best friends know you
inside out and can almost write an epic book about the things you have gone
through.
Most conversations begin with ‘remember that time
when..’ and most often it is something you wouldn't want the world to know, I'm positive that you would agree with my list.
You
have special nicknames for each other and obviously for everyone else
You’ve
been each other’s therapists
You start to
recognize the patterns in each others behavior. When you need a good slap in the face or great big bear hug,
they are always there. if you are going down the same
road again they will warn you knowing you will take it anyway, and will be ready with tissues.
You understand why they’re being a grump some days and you've learned to decipher their indecipherable whining. When they do start to
become a grouch, you know that it’s likely because they haven’t eaten all day
and they should probably take a nap while they’re at it.
You have your own ‘songs'
You both have weird songs/parodies based on a bizzare incident and still sing it to
each other. Nothing says continuity like bouncing your best friend’s newborn on
your knee to the tune of “your special song”. Hell yea!
You can’t go public with any news without telling each other first
You’re pregnant. You got a new job. You changed your hair color. However
miniscule or mind-blowingly awesome, if you dare as much as tweet about it
before telling each other first, there will be Hell to pay.
You have a “the day we met” story
You’re lucky if you manage to tell it all the way through, because
you’re usually laughing too hysterically by the end to finish your sentences. Or
you both would have different versions of ‘how you met’ because clearly you
guys cannot remember those details from a decade, or can you!
You’ve actually made a pact to be best friends forever
You've shared so many secrets that at this point, breaking up would be
a liability
You just have too much classified information about each other. Certain
are such that might scar your friends new friends for life. Besides, you need
someone to publish your masterpiece hidden deep inside your computer when you
die. Either way, there are some things you just don’t need falling into the
wrong hands or ears.
You have no problem giving each other unsolicited advice
Because, let’s face it, it matters what your friend has to say about
your new outfit, makeup, shoes, boyfriend. They would be blunt and give you
exactly what to need to hear. Whether it’s picking up your life, or
ending/improving your relations.
You grieve over the loss of each other’s family pets as if they were
your own
When your friendship lasts longer than the life of the average dog or
cat, this is unavoidable, and when you get the call from your best friend, you
let them cry, and cry along with them, because you remember all the moments
whether good or bad that you had with their pets.
You have absolutely no boundaries
You hold hands, you walk arm in
arm, you undress in front of each other, you cuddle. You've slept in the same bed and used the bathroom together so many times that you
guys are basically becoming the same person. You have shared Hairbrushes,
clothes, make-up, email passwords, there’s literally no limit to how much you
guys share. You probably even buy new things keeping in mind if your best
friend would like it or not
Personal space? What personal
space?
'A best friend is someone who can make you laugh, when you thought you could never smile'
