Everyone always asks me what it's like to have a best friend that is also a family member.
My answer?
It is the best thing I could ever ask for.
My cousin and I have been best friends for about two years now, and we keep on growing closer.
We both agree that we could never be as close to anyone else as we are to each other. I mean, how many other people can you complain about your family to and have them actually understand?
Not many.
The best part? She's family, so she is literally always welcome at our house.
My cousin has slowly become my rock over the past two years, because she knows just about every aspect of my life.
A breakup? she's my go-to.
A bad day? She always has the right thing to say.
A good day? She's one of the first people I need to tell.
I will always do the same for her. I am so blessed to have a best friend that is also my cousin, and I have no idea what I would do without her.
