People come and people go, but true friends are there forever. Often times, we take these special people for granted. True friendships these days are hard to find, especially when our friends are as great as they are! Here are ten things we forgot to thank our besties for:
1. Sharing clothes/shoes/jewelry, etc
Being a true friend comes with an understood "what's mine is yours" mentality. This includes clothes, shoes, jewelry, make up and just about anything you can imagine. Luckily, our friends have a greater fashion sense than we do--and we get all the benefits! (Just know we do return the favor--ask and you shall receive!)
2. Sharing food and snacks... and wine
If you are truly best friends, you either live together or are together 24/7. This means you often share a lot of meals. In addition to having a super awesome closet, our friends also know how to cook! Thanks for sharing all of your yummy meals, pickles, cookies and, most importantly, fancy adult beverages.
3. Being a good listener and someone to talk to
Whether we've had a terrible day or the best day ever, our friends are always there to listen. We could talk for hours and they wouldn't even interrupt about their day. Thanks, ladies!
4. Telling the truth, even when we don't want to hear it
Sometimes we get the crazy idea that we should try texting our ex-boyfriend or that we should "just wing it" for a project or exam. Our friends are always there to tell us that these things are NOT good ideas. Sometimes the truth is hard to say, but our friends always manage to put our best interests first. And for that, we thank you.
5. Going out of the way to take the perfect picture
Our friends also understand the struggle of taking the perfect picture. We may ask them five different times (or more) to take one silly little pic. Naturally, they take a hundred "candid" shots because they know these are the best. Even when we try a different pose a million times, our friends don't mind. This is why they are the best!
6. Not judging our crazy habits
Whether it's a crazy cat obsession, the constant urge to sing really loudly or being a little too fond of a Thursday night gathering, our gal pals do not judge our crazy habits. They understand we have our quirks and that we are not perfect. They respect our uniqueness and love us for who we are. Thanks, pals!
7. Hanging out when they don't want to
We all know how busy life can get these days, and sometimes you would rather be doing something more productive than hanging out with your friends. However, our friends make a point to spend time with us, even when they don't want to. And this means the world to us!
8. Understanding when we cancel plans
On the other hand, when we cancel plans because life gets overwhelming, our friends do not hold it against us. They totally understand! Another reason why our friends are the best!
9. Sending funny memes
This is something so simple, yet so meaningful. It lets us know our friends are thinking about us and brightens up our whole day! A lot of these "memes" include inside jokes and mean so much more. Thanks and keep 'em coming, ladies!
10. Last but not least, being themselves!
Our friends are so cool. They are 100 percent tried, true and totally themselves. They know what they like, what they don't like and are an absolute joy to be around. These ladies make life so much better and deserve a little shout-out for putting up with our crazy selves. Thanks for everything--you rock!
