Life is difficult and everyone in life seems to be facing a different battle but have you ever imagined life without your best friend? I spent the entire past week with my best friend since first grade at the beach. We had the best time on the way down just singing songs with the windows down and dancing like no one was watching. It was like life was perfect in that moment and all the problems I was having in life just disappeared.

As the week went on, we sat on the beach in our chairs and got in the water with our floats and just had the best talks. The kind of talks that you just need sometimes, you know, the ones that are basically like a therapy session. The thing with having a best friend is they are always honest with you. They know your life and they know you better than you know yourself sometimes. They say the things that you need to hear while keeping your best interest at heart.

This past week at the beach in the middle of a conversation I was having with my best friend, I thought to myself what would my life be like if I did not have you? Who would I call when nothing in my life seemed to be going right? Who would I call when I received the best news and all my dreams came true? Who would be there to tell me not to text that guy back because I deserved better than him? Who would pick me up and take me to get ice cream when I decided not to listen and text him anyway and get no reply? The truth is without my best friend I could never be me. My best friend is often the glue that holds me together.

She loves me for who I am and allows me to be my complete self. She sings with me in the car to the top of our lungs and laughs when I get the words wrong. She takes me to celebrate when I pass a test in school and builds my confidence back up when I fail. She tells me when I am overreacting and helps me gain control of my emotions when I’m having one of my overwhelming girl moments. She fixes my hair for me because I am hair challenged and makes me feel like a princess when some guy lets me down.

She loves my family and is apart of my family. My family loves her just as much as I do. She checks on me and makes sure that I am doing okay and she knows when I am struggling. I mean what would I do without her? I feel that I would be completely lost. I would not know how to be myself without her. I think that every girl needs a best friend to do life with because life would be really hard for me if I did not have mine.

Every day with my best friend is a good day because she has so much to do with the person I am today. If you do not have a best friend, I strongly advise you to find one because best friends are the people that hold you together when the world seems to be falling apart.
