Best friends go through a lot together, but here are a few key points that all best friends implement into your life.
1. Being Editor-in-Chief to all of your text messages
Whether it be the silly “what emoji should I send back” to a cute boy or the “how do I word that I want Tuesday off without being a lazy bum” text to your boss, she always has your back. If your bestie is anything like mine, she has saved your behind so many times from the embarrassing auto correct or word vomit you had thought was OK to send.
2. Putting up with your morning grumpiness
I don’t know about other people, but for me, if I am asleep, just leave me be. I am no good without a cup of coffee (sometimes it even takes two cups). I even get grumpy while people try to wake me up and say some things I do not mean in the slightest. Either way, she makes sure I am up and alive to be social with society, even when I want to lay in the bed and be dead to the rest of the world. She helps recreate the zombie you into the normal you.
3. Accepting that you are crazy and won’t let you be crazy alone
I know this one is definitely hard to remember to thank your bestie for. Whether it be dancing in the car at a stoplight or complimenting a random stranger, your best friend is right beside you until the end of the song or conversation. They wouldn’t dare leave you alone to make a fool of yourself (which, for me, is a major possibility). She’s never going to let you go through anything alone, but she’s never going to let you live anything down, either.
4. Being brutally honest
Yes, this is a huge one to thank your friend for because sometimes it is hard to hear the truth, but in my opinion, I would rather hear it from someone I love rather than some random stranger. If she doesn’t like a top, she’s going to give you an honest opinion. If she doesn’t like your new beau, then she will tell you she doesn’t like him. It is hard for us to hear other people’s opinions sometimes, but you have to remember she is criticizing out of love rather than just trying to hurt you.
5. Always loving you, no matter what
Even when times between you two are tough, she will always come to your rescue. Whether it be from a flat tire or a broken heart, your bestie is always by your side until the end of time. Even if you’re fighting, your best friend is the person you always come running to when something goes wrong and vise versa. Your best friend is basically your sister. You are going to have fights, whether they be the big ones over a guy or the small ones over something as simple as what pop to get, they are always there for you to love you, no matter what.
What ever you do, don’t forget to thank your best friend for everything she does for you!
