They are your go to, your shoulder to cry on, your partner in crime (even from 536.89 miles away), they are more of friend than the friends you have in real life, and you can speak to them about anything and everything. Now it seems like you could never imagine your life without them. No matter how you guys met you feel like there is no way you could live your life without them now.

1. You always have someone to text and video chat with.

Knowing they will be there for you even though they are hundreds of miles away, is the best feeling ever.

2. You always get a great opinion from them.

You already know they will have a better opinion than anyone else on things important to you, especially if they have been through the same situation.

3. Planning trips to see each other.

Although there is so many hours that go into the planning, and let alone the trip, it's worth it all. Just to see the person you call your true best friend.

4. You both can each other packages for Birthdays and Holidays.

You know in the package you have sent them multiple things they will absolutely love but still there is stress for some reason you think they may not like what is in the box.

5. You know they will always have your back and love you no matter what.

(You should've known I had to add a Supernatural gif lol.) No matter if you two fight over thinking one of you are right and the other is wrong, if someone hurts your best friend you do your best to protect them no matter the situation.
