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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
