I'm sure we've all had that relationship where it felt perfect. We had the thought that the relationship would last forever.

Well, let me tell you to stop pushing away everything and everyone else so you can put your relationship first.

Your relationship feels perfect but it won't be. There will be times when you need someone else to talk to, and if you're constantly forgetting about your friends they might not be there for you.

My first serious relationship taught me this.

When everything feels perfect all you want to do is spend time with that person.

Even if this means canceling previous plans or making sure you're free every day. You drift away from the people you were closest to, sometimes without even realizing it.

I consider myself lucky. When my "perfect" relationship blew up in flames, my best friend at the time rushed to my house with comfort food and listened to me vent.

I'm so grateful I had someone there for me despite all the pushing away I did.

I know I put her behind my relationship and I never want to make the same mistake again. Having someone that stood by me for months of a relationship as my priority and still made it to my house to make sure I was okay was something I'm extremely grateful for.

Friends can bring so much happiness to your life and nothing is worth losing that.

Some friendships are more important than a relationship and it's important to never forget that. I know I have people who are there for me now and I'm extremely appreciative of that. When it's past midnight and I need someone to talk to, I know I have a good group of friends that I can chat with.

They've been there for me through some rough times and I never want to make them feel like they aren't important.

Good friends are really hard to come by so make sure you cherish them.
