I know it's been said over and over again: "guys and girls can't be best friends." Sometimes, people make assumptions, feelings can develop, and other relationships interfere -- but the key word in there was sometimes.
My best friend and I have a relationship that has gone through just about everything, and I know for a fact that I don't thank him enough for being my person -- so here's to you.
Thank you for being brutally honest with me.
Whether I'm asking about the way I look or it's something I've come to you about, thank you for never lying to me. Even when I want to hear the candy coated version, I'm glad you never gave it to me. I need to know when I look like I rolled out of bed and when a guy just isn't that into me. I know I get offended or upset at your criticism sometimes, but without it I can guarantee you I'd be a mess.
Thank you for taking care of me.
I'm not always at my best and you've definitely seen me at my worst. When I'm a little too intoxicated you're always the first to make sure I'm okay. When I'm not feeling good or going through a tough time you're always the first to offer Netflix and my favorite foods. Thank you for being that comforting person when I need it the most and making sure that I'm always taken care of. Between the hugs you give and the nights you've stayed up with me, your efforts are always appreciated.
Thank you for helping me with guy problems.
I know us girls confuse you guys. Well, the same can be said vice versa. I understand nothing about the male species and you're always my go-to for that. I'm sure you don't want to always hear me talk about guys, but you constantly stick through it. You tell me what things mean in guy-language and you give me advice. Whenever I'm looking too far into something, you're always the first to tell me that it doesn't mean that much on the guy's end. I have to thank you for being that guy that puts guy code to the side to help me out.
Thank you for putting up with me.
I know I'm far from easy to deal with. I'm hardheaded and usually talk about useless things. I don't make sense half the time when I talk and I probably annoy you more than ever. Sometimes, I come up with bad ideas and you go along with them and you listen to my banter. Thank you for always putting everything to the side and loving me, anyway.
Thank you for being my best friend.
The most important thing I want to thank you for is being my best friend. Thank you for taking me as I am and accepting any and every flaw I have. Thank you for being my rock and my shoulder to cry on, for taking endless photos with me and never posting my embarrassing snapchats. Thank you for giving me both tough and sincere love and sticking by me regardless of what people say.
