When you're one of the guys, friendship has a whole new meaning. Your friends are some of the most honest, trustworthy, loyal, and understanding people you will ever meet. They never hold anything against you, and they show you what it truly means to feel loved and accepted.
When you're one of the guys, they won't treat you differently just because your a girl. Sometimes, they'll forget you're a girl. You'll respond to "bro", and gender roles sometimes go out the window. You'll find new ways to get on each other's nerves, and fight just like siblings do. You'll sit through countless hours of deep talks, dirty jokes, and drinking games. You'll feel most comfortable when you're all lounging in your sweatpants and playing video games. There will be times when you go weeks without hanging out, but when you all get together, its like you were never separated.
When you're one of the guys, it will take time to find a partner who accepts your close bond with your friends. Being a girl who is comfortable hugging, lounging with, and being around other quite a few dudes a lot is a rare occurrence, and for many its a hard characteristic to accept. But, they come around and begin to understand your bond, and see how your relationship with your friends is important to you.
When you're one of the guys, you often become the mom friend of the group. You become the source of reason and safety. Your friends come to you for advice, and you care for them like they were your own brothers. You are the hardest person to approve of any girl they catch feelings for, because to you, no girl is good enough for them. At the same time, they look out just as much for you. You know they would come to your rescue when needed, and you rely on them for comfort and assurance. You admire them, and they admire you.
When you're one of the guys, you value things that seem so simple and small. Car rides, listening to albums, laughing about drunken mishaps, and making good fun of each other are priceless memories. You'll call each other names, and nobody will take it seriously. At the end of the day, you know that no matter what happens, they will always be your friends, and nothing would come between that.
When you're one of the guys, you'll always have your fan club. They are the truest friends you will ever have, and they will give you the best memories and experiences of your life. Being one of the guys isn't an insult or a problem; it's a gift. You have some of the most loyal friends anyone could ask for.
Thanks guys. I love you.
