My Boyfriend And Best Friend Are The Same Person And There's Nothing Wrong With That

A best friend knows the right way to make you laugh when it seems like nothing could ever make you smile again.

My Boyfriend And Best Friend Are The Same Person And There's Nothing Wrong With That
Michelle Monforto

A lot of times when girls are in relationships, their friends think they forget about them. That isn't always the case, though. Just because a girl spends a lot of time with her boyfriend doesn't mean that she forgot about the rest of her life.

For me, I wouldn't date someone that I didn't feel as comfortable with as I do my closest girlfriend.

I get that you still need your "girl time," and I know my boyfriend needs his "guy time", as well.

But there's nothing wrong with wanting to be with each other at the end of the day and being the last person we talk to every night.

For about the past year or so, my boyfriend and I have seen each other every day without fail.

Now, that's not to say that we haven't spent time with our friends away from each other because we have! We still go out with our friends by ourselves, and it's good to do that.

It's healthy for the relationship to spend some time apart. But at the end of the day, he's my best friend, and there's nothing wrong with always wanting to be with your best friend.

He brings out the best in me.

He knows how to make me smile when I'm feeling down.

He knows the stupid things he does that always make me laugh.

He knows how to love me unconditionally even when it may seem like I want nothing to do with him.

And that's what a best friend does.

A best friend is there for you no matter what.

A best friend picks you up when you feel like you can't carry the weight of your own despair.

A best friend knows the right way to make you laugh when it seems like nothing could ever make you smile again.

A best friend loves you for who you are, regardless.

So is my boyfriend my best friend?

Yes, he is.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I don't know why other people feel the need to look down upon people in a relationship that want to always be with their significant other. If it makes me happy then why should it even matter to anyone else?

My boyfriend makes me happy and because of that, I want nothing more than to be with him as much as I can.

Believe me, there are times when we don't agree on things and where we need to step away from each other and come back when we've worked things out in our heads, but doesn't that also happen with your best friend that isn't your SO?

Your boyfriend shouldn't just be your companion and lover.

He should be the person you see yourself spending the rest of your life with.

And I want nothing more than to spend my life with my very best friend.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
