So I have this friend Megan. We met about three years ago, hung out for a few months and then just kind of stopped talking.

Not for any reason, we just got caught up in our own lives. Then a year later we ran into each other on campus, realized we lived right across from each other and we renewed out friendship. And what a weird, wonderful friendship it is.

I see Megan about twice a month. Why is that you ask, because we never do anything together. She’s never the person I think of to invite to go get food or to the movies or go shopping. And she never thinks to invite me to do any of those things either.

Our friendship is completely revolved around sitting in each other’s new apartments and talking (while drinking but only sometimes!). If I’m sitting around at home with nothing to do, I’ll whip out my phone and text Megan “wyd?” And then if she says nothing, we hang out.

All we do is talk. We talk about school, boys, life, family, pretty much everything under the sun. And it’s awesome! Megan knows so many personal things about me, so many deep parts of my life and I know all that about her too. We give each other advice, listen to each other rant and judge boys on Tinder.

It's one of the best friendships I have.

There’s no pressure to keep each other entertained because we never do anything. There’s no drama, we don’t fight and I’ve never had a bad thing to say about her. Everything I say is of value to her. And everything she says is of value to me. We’ve talked each other through so many ups and downs in our lives. We’ve gone through so many life changes together from relationships to college majors. This is the friend that apologizes for being on her phone to text her dad back because she wants to know she’s still listening to me talk. This is the friend that never judges me for anything that I tell her. This is the friend that I know will always tell me what she thinks regardless of whether I’ll like it or not. This is the friend that makes friendship easy.

So Megan, thank you.
