There isn't a harder goodbye than the one between you and your best friend. It might be college or a move that brought you your separate ways but regardless of the miles between you can always be confident that your best friend is never too far away. Not having your best friend attached to your hip like they always use to be can be a shock to the system but in the end it really isn't so bad after all, and here's why;
1. You will always have new and exciting stories to tell each other. Being apart means that you are having your own adventures and that is just hours and hours of stories to share with your other half.
2. It's a lot easier for them to bail you out of trouble when they aren't getting into it with you. Also, they know that by the time that you are explaining what happened that you are alive and okay so all they have to do is support from afar and give their advice.
3. You can make lists of the things that you are planning to do when you see each other the next time. This actually gives you time to get a plan together so you aren't just watching Netflix for the 60th time (although, that's always okay too!).
4. Stories about boys are so much better when they haven't met them yet. Your new relationship is new to them too and it's actually pretty fun scooping the new guy out on every form of social media.
5. Meeting their new friends is like meeting the long lost friends you never knew you had. Let's face it, your best friend must have great taste if they picked you, so how bad could the new ones be?
6. You never get into fights. You aren't dumb enough to waste the little time you have together fighting.
7. They are always excited to hear from you. Lives get busy, you might not be able to text or call every day so when you do get to hear from them, it brightens both of your days every single time.
8. You'll always have someone to visit when you need to get away. There is no doubt that they'd welcome you with open arms no matter the time or day.
9. Even though it's hard, it makes the moments where you are actually together worth so much more. Nothing makes you appreciate someone more than being away from them for awhile.
10. Nothing feels better than being reunited. Seeing your best friend for the first time in a long time just reminds you of the connection you have and there's no better feeling in the world than being reassured that nothing has changed.
Having a best friend who is hours away can be difficult sometimes (all the time) but in the end just focus on the ways it has made you stronger and start counting down until the days you get to see them again.
