It is inevitable in life that people move away from each other. It can be difficult living far from your best friend. You can no longer go out to eat on Friday nights or spontaneously go over to their house. Although you two are having the time of your lives while conquering the world, you still miss one of your favorite people everyday. You learn that the distance between you and your best friend is not as bad as you had previously thought.
1. Getting to see each other is a special event.
Sometimes when you see someone all the time, you take that person for granted. When you don't get to see one of your favorite friends often, the times you spend together are appreciated.
2. You always have someone to give unbiased advice.
This person knows you best. However, they do not know the people that you are talking about so they can give you better advice than anyone else.
3. You always have someone to text and FaceTime.
Although you may be miles apart, they are always a phone call away. You know they will always be there for you when they can't physically be there.
4. You can plan fun trips to visit each other.
When you can visit each other, you get to meet the people that you've heard all about. You also get to experience all the places that they love. Although it may seem like a hassle to leave town to visit your best friend, it's actually fun. You always have somewhere to go and someone to have fun with rather than be trapped in your city.
5. You know they will always be a part of your life.
If you can survive going to different schools in different states, that's proof that your friendship will last forever. You both care enough to make time for each other even with homework, exams, and social events.
6. You get to meet their friends and they get to meet your friends.
You automatically get to become friends with your best friend's friends. You are an honorary new best friend. Your best friend and her friends probably talk about you all of the time anyway.
7. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
This phrase is very common. Why would being away from someone make you closer to them? I never thought this was true until now. While you two are off in your different lives, you experience all different types of people. Getting to experience new people makes you appreciate the old ones.
8. You get to live vicariously through someone else's life.
You not only get to live your own life, but you get to live through your best friend too. From constant updates through snapchat and texts, you're basically living a double life.
9. You can go weeks or months without seeing each other, and it's the exact same.
You and your best friend are so close and comfortable with each other that time apart does not impact your relationship. Time away from each other feels like none.
10. Your friendship is more important than the miles separating you.
The distance means nothing because you have an inseparable bond. There is always some way to visit each other like car rides or plane rides. Nothing can end your friendship, not even a couple hundred miles.
