1. They have seen your good, your bad, and your ugly

They have stuck around through every accomplishment, ugly crying face, and snarky comment. And if anyone will bring out that good, it will be them.

2. Despite the fact that the new guy in your life is all you talk about, they celebrate along when he finally texts back.

Especially because they probably co-authored every text you have sent him.

3. They probably know you more than you know yourself.

And they are NOT afraid to tell you your flaws.

4. No matter how much you screw up, you know they have your back.

They will go down swinging for you.

5. They are your #1 Fan

And they aren't afraid to tell the world. Whether it be the next door neighbor, the waitress at a restaurant, or the school janitor, they will make sure everyone knows that you're the best.

6. You are perpetually in a no judgement zone

Through every burp, stupid question, bad driving days, and everything else life throws at you. They don't judge how you live your life. They love you regardless.

7. They make break ups just a tiny bit better.

With ice cream in tow, they will bitch about your ex with you while simultaneously slipping in "I told you so's" about dating him in the first place.

8. You'll always find your way back to each other.

No matter the distance, the fights, the differences, you always come back to each other because you were made for each other. True best friends are very rare to come across in life. Cherish them.
