We all have best friends. I personally have a few. Whoever came up with the whole "you can only have one best friend" was terribly mistaken. More than one person can be a really good friend to you and when that is the situation then you have a best friend. I just got lucky enough that I can also call my boyfriend, my best friend. I know not everyone gets to and I love that I am able to. I believe we have a special and amazing relationship.
Struggles...
People always say that there is struggles in relationships. Especially when you are a college student and do not attend the same college. Well again, I got really lucky. I am a commuter. I commute over an hour. I met him in my town that I live, which luckily he lives there too. All it is, is a five minute drive to see each other. No crazy distance that we have to deal with. But we do struggle with availability to see each other. Between school and work schedules, during the year we do not see each other as much as we would like. But that is okay, because we talk everyday and when we do see each other we make the most of it. We also take advantage of any possible time that we can spend together, even if its small.
Space...
I know some couples always feel like they need time apart and that they need space here and there. But that is what I love about us being best friends, we do not want that. We wish we could spend all the time together. We want to share things with each other and share experiences together! We like to joke around with each other and be goofy. We do not argue, we just always talk it out and figure it out rather then yell at each other. We just have a strong bond.
Compromises...
We kind of are the best of both worlds. We are not fully alike but we also are not fully different. We have a lot of things in common but also things that are different. We both love to cook and we love food. We also love to make things so we make some yummy goodies together when I find random recipes...even if he tries to eat it all before we make it. We also love gummies, and can go through a whole big bag in one shot. But then there are the differences. I love to dance, read, and watch sappy romance movies. He loves to play video games, watch scary and action movies, and likes to hunt. Just because we have these differences, we do not allow that to control and ruin our relationship. Instead, we make it work. We will watch my movies and we will play his games. I'm even going to take the step of going hunting with him one day because he wants to share that experience with me. We care so much about each other, that we do not allow some as silly as differences ruin our relationship.
Support...
We greatly support each other. I know I could tell him anything and he will not judge me. He knows that he an do the same and I will just listen an be there for him. We always support each other and are there for each other. That is such a big part of a strong relationship. And trust, trust is so important too. We have such strong trust and I love it! You have to be there for each other and support each other. We would never let each other fall or stand alone. We have each others' backs.
Love and Friendship...
I personally do not know what I would have done without him. Yes, I know I have gone 19 years of my life without him. But, I just feel like a happier and better version of me now that I do have him in my life. He completes me. I feel like he makes me a better me. He is truly my rock, and I know I will always have him in my life. We do not have any trust issues to any real issues at all between each other. We are about to celebrate a year together and I already know that I do not want to be with anyone else. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and share all the memories with him. I want to spend it all with my best friend. That I am beyond sure about. I know some people might say that a year is not long enough to know that, but we both knew it from the beginning. Time does not always have to be the deciding factor. It is simply called love.
Do not ever let someone tell you that you can not find love or that it is not out there for you. We all have our own soulmate. It just is all about timing. You will find yours when you least expect it but when you need them the most. Miracles work in strange ways. Love is unique and amazing and it works in so many different ways.
