The bond between best friends is like nothing else in the entire world. Those phone calls at 2 A.M. when you call them about a boy problem, and they're there to relax you, and make you realize your worth. Those spontaneous adventures to get ice cream at your favorite parlor on a hot summer day. Those car drives where you can't stop laughing and jamming out to throwback Justin Bieber songs. Best friends make you feel like you're not so alone because you can always count on them. I'm so grateful that I've found a group of friends that love me exactly the way that I am.
