Best friends... of course they don’t expect you to say thank you for all these little things but that makes them an even better best friend right? I don’t think about it when it happens but I am so thankful for all you do for me. Here are all the times "thank you" went unspoken:
1. Thank you for being honest with me.
All those times I had something on my face or stuck in my teeth, you didn’t let me walk around like an idiot. And make-up lines are your pet peeve so those always get pointed out too. You let me know when I need to chill and stop being crazy and I don’t know what I would do without that.
2. Thank you for keeping me grounded.
I have a bad habit of getting in my own head. I always assume the worst and you can always lighten the mood.
3. Thank you for breaking your diet for me.
“Wanna go get pizza?” The answer is always yes. Eating Little Ceasars in the car and talking about life makes everything better. Thank you for not letting me get fat alone.
4. Thank you for motivating me.
You make me go to the gym even when I don’t want to and I do the same for you. I wouldn’t get anything done without my spotter. Thanks for always being there.
5. Thank you for listening.
My life could be a TV show, I know you don’t know my brother’s ex-wife’s brother, but thank you for pretending to care anyways. We definitely don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but thank you for listening to my rants anyways.
6. Thank you for not letting me do stupid things alone.
I don’t let you sneak into concerts alone and I know you would do the same. We probably shouldn’t try that again though…
7. Thank you for being my substitute date.
Like that one time I got dumped the night before one of my friend’s wedding and I couldn’t go single and alone. Plus, now we are tagged in a bunch of embarrassing dancing photos on Facebook. That deserves a huge thank you and I’m sorry.
8. Thank you for getting me out of sticky situations.
I know I can always count on you to call me fake-freaking out to get me out of those awkward first dates. And I’d much rather go for a run with you than be on that date.
9. Thank you for picking me up when I get down.
You’re terrible at telling jokes but they are so bad, they are funny. I am grateful for your terrible jokes.
10. Thank you for washing the dishes.
I am a clean freak and you know it. So, when I protest to wash dishes because nobody else will, thank you for carrying that burden for a little while.
11. Thank you for disliking the same people.
Even though you have no reason to not like my ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend, thank you for not liking her with me.
12. Thank you for making me get out of my comfort zone.
I am kind of a homebody and I would much rather spend the night watching Netflix. But I have to admit, I have some pretty great memories from you dragging me out of the apartment.
13. Thank you for reminding me what is important.
Really, it’s the little things. I so appreciate the Bible verses I receive and the inspiring Facebook article. When I struggle, I just remember you telling me, “this is all temporary” and it gets me through.
14. Thank you for being a bad singer.
I don’t feel near as bad about my loud car singing when I am with you. Even though we suck at singing, we got some pretty bomb car dancing skills.
15. Thank you for reading my mind.
We can just make eye contact and burst into laughter or that look that means you have to tell me something later.
16. Thank you for being happy for me.
Even though you may not agree with what I am doing, you will still be happy for me when I am happy.
17. Thank you for just getting me.
It’s not too late to send your best friend that thank you for all the little things they’ve been doing for you.
