For as long as I remember, my friends have been my whole life. I’ve never been in a real relationship, and I was never very close with my extended family. My best friends always have been and always will be my family. I consider myself a loyal person, and although it may not seem like it all the time, I am always there for anyone I love who needs me.
Some of my friends are still in high school, some in college, and some even older. Age does not make a difference to me, if I love spending time with you, what’s the difference? Some of my best friends are still in walking distance of my house, some have moved away to college and I miss them with all my heart. If I could, I would promise the world to these lovely people in my life I call my best friends. Since I can’t, here are a few things I promise to you, my best friends.
1. I promise to always have my phone on loud even at 3 am, just in case you need me. I WILL pick up the phone.
2. I promise to always be down for whatever. May it be a dance party on a Tuesday night in my bedroom, or late night trips to the city on a Thursday, I’m down.
3. I promise to always make time for you. I’m in nursing school. I work 3-4 times a week. Sure, I’ll get coffee after I’m done studying for this anatomy test. Yes, I’ll go to that party tonight after I get off of my 6-hour shift. I love you, and I WANT to spend my time with you.
4. I promise that girls night will be a regular thing. Taylor Swift and food? Sounds perfect to me. Who needs boys anyway?
5. I promise to always try and understand your reasoning. I get you’re in love with him, even though he’s a total douchebag I’ll let you figure that out for yourself.
6. I promise to wipe your tears over the dumb ass who didn’t love you back. He has no idea what he’s missing out on.
7. I promise to walk you through the college application process, and try to convince you to come to my school.
8. I promise to keep you updated on my life. I won’t keep secrets from you, no matter how shameful they are.
9. I promise to never make you feel like you have to do something you don’t want to.
10. Last but not least, I promise to ALWAYS be your best friend and your shoulder to cry on. It is the least I can do for all you’ve done for me.
