People say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and maybe it does, but all I have learned from being so far away from my truest friend is that distance doesn't change anything. She is still the same kind of friend she was when she lived two miles down the road. I still call her when I've had a bad day or when juicy drama happens. She is always the first person I call when the boy I have a crush on says hey to me.

Distance hasn't changed our friendship in the slightest, but these are all the things I wish were still an option for us.

Somethings honestly and truly are not the same without your best friend. Even with other close friends all those things just don't compare. Sure, you have people to go to the movies with or to pick you up or even to go to random places with, but the memories are so much different. There isn't always the chance to say "dude you remember that one time" with another person because you can say it but they definitely will not remember.

Long distance friendships are not fun, but they are worth it. Distance may take them away from you, but a true bestie will stick with you always even if there are hundreds of miles separating you. It helps you appreciate trips to Walmart and movie nights so much more because life far away from your best friend is honestly just empty.
