We all have that one person in our lives whom we hold very dear to our hearts. After so long, we no longer consider that person our friend. Instead, we consider them ourfamily. That person has been there for you through both the good and the bad, and has been the one to pick you up when you are down. No matter how many times life tries to get in the way, remember how lucky you really are to have this person in your life. Here are 10 facts that I'm sure apply to everyone.

1. The day you met her, you just knew that she was the one.

It didn't take you very long to figure out this person was YOUR person. When you met them, you knew that they were the one within a matter of minutes.

2. She knows you better than you know yourself.

Your best friend can look at you and know within a few seconds if something amazing just happened or if something horrible just happened. They just know.

3. At times, it feels as if she is the only thing keeping you afloat.

When everything seems like it's going wrong, your best friend will be there to let you know everything is going to be okay. You might not believe it at the time, but just hearing her say those words will give you a feeling of comfort like no other.

4. She will tell you not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.

Your best friend will tell you that the dress you just waited three weeks for looks terrible, no matter how upset she knows you will be when she says it. She will also tell you if the guy that you are head over heels in love with doesn't deserve you. She only wants the best for her best friend.

5. You guys tell each other everything before you tell anyone else. There are no exceptions.

It doesn't matter if it is the new job you just landed, or the grade you just got on your paper; she is the first person you tell.

6. You always will miss her, and she will always miss you.

Even if you have been with her for two days straight, you will miss her when she leaves, and she will miss you, obviously.

7. Breaking the "hoes before bros" rule is not even a remote possibility.

If your ex was the last person on the planet, your best friend would rather be alone for the rest of her life than be with him.

8. They will have your back on everything.

Even if they don't really have an opinion on it, they will act like they do because they love you that much.

9. She is excited when you are excited.

It doesn't matter if you finally got the class on your watch list that you wanted or if you just got a new pair of shoes, if you're happy, then she's happy.

10. She has been your person from day one, and that will always be the case.

From that day you met in the library in the 6th grade until now, being your person will always be one of her full-time jobs, no matter what.
