Best friends are the people that you tell everything to and they're always there for you. When I was in high school I met these two people that I didn’t think would make such a big impact on my life but they did. I can’t even begin where to start with how much they have done for me during my last two years of high school. We did everything together and we even called ourselves the trio (we still do lol).
I graduated high school and ended up going away to college. Not seeing them all the time was one of the weirdest things because I went from seeing them all the time to seeing them when I came home and sometimes that even didn’t happen. It was the first time I dealt with something like this but bless them for keeping in touch with me and I love them to death.
Having long distance best friends is hard at times. let me tell you there were times where I wished I could just go home and hang out with them and forget all my problems but I couldn’t. But having them in my life has taught me so much and here are some things that I learned:
1. They’re still you're number one supporter
Anything from a push to go to class to be just as excited for you when you get a good grade on an exam. They're first ones to like your tweet or Instagram post and they even share my Odyssey articles.
2. They're still always there for you
You might think this kind of goes hand in hand with being you're number one supporter and in some cases, it might but this time not so much. They're still the ones I go to when things get hard or when things are great. More times then not they're the first one I tell when something good or bad happens.
3. Late night phone calls (these happen more often then you think)
Trust me when I say this because more often than not this is the only time you can fit in a phone call with them because you're all busy with classes and other things. There's also been plenty of times where I called then while I was walking somewhere either to class or when I was walking home from somewhere. I can't forget about the FaceTime, too.
4. The group chat is always blowing up
Let me tell you I have woken up with more than 100 messages from the group chat before. But anyway I wouldn't give it up for anything. We talk every day all day in that thing so its like were never truly apart.
5. When you finally see them again it's like a big reunion
Every time I get to spend time with them when I home its like nothing has changed. We pick up right where we left off even though we sometimes tell the same stories but it never really gets old.
6. Coming home for a weekend, calls for a spontaneous adventure with them
Late night adventures, trips to baseball games, all are a must. Whether it's just to Walmart or to get food, these are the times I'll never forget. Sometimes its just what I needed and what I missed about being home all the time.
7. No matter the distance, we're still best friends
I think this is the most important one because you lose touch with people all the time. But with them somehow we defied the odds and three years later and we are still best friends.
Having long distance best friends is truly a blessing and I don't know what I'd do with out mine.
