Often times we get caught up in life and forget to be thankful for some of the most important people in our lives: our friends. So here’s a list of 19 things I would like to thank my friends for.

1.Thank you for putting up with me, even when I’m being a pain.

We all have our moments, yet we still hang around each other.

2.Thank you for being honest with me, whether I want to hear it or not.

3.Thank you for putting me above a lot of things.

You always make it obvious how much I mean to you, and I try to do the same.

4.Thank you for encouraging me and believing in me.

It means a lot to me that you have so much faith in me. Your encouragement pushes me to be better and do better.

5.Thank you for being there for me whenever I need it.

6.Thank you for giving me the best advice you can manage.

7.Thank you for being willing do crazy things with me.

We all know that our ideas aren't always the smartest, but if we do it together, it'll be fine!

8.Thank you for listening to my problems, no matter how insignificant.

9.Thank you for helping me when I have a homework issue, no matter how much you have to do.

10.Thank you for telling me when I need to calm down.

We all know I overreact a lot and get upset about a lot of things easily. Sometimes I just need you to tell me to chill out.

11.Thank you for cheering me up when I’m upset.

Or crying with me. Either way, it just means a lot that you're there.

12.Thank you for treating my family like your own.

13.Thank you for having a family who treats me like their own.

14.Thank you for laughing at the stupid things I say.

I do not always have a way with words. I also tend to make things up. But, your laughter makes me feel better.

15.Thank you for including me in your plans.

16.Thank you for being my other siblings.

I mean, who else am I going to pick on while I'm not with my actual siblings?

17.Thank you for not giving up on me.

18.Thank you for being the best friends I could ever ask for.

If I had the ability to build the perfect friends, I couldn't imagine them not being like you. We complement each other perfectly.

19.Thank you for always loving me.

I know I'm bratty, moody, and a little crazy at times, but we all are. Yet, somehow, you're always there and you always love me regardless. I don't know how I ever survived without you. I could never imagine my life without you in it. And, there is no one else I'd rather do this crazy thing called life with besides you.
