It seems like nowadays, all anyone talks about is hooking up or getting in a relationship. What we don't talk about is who hears about literally all of it.
Screenshots, paragraph upon paragraph text messages, hours long phone calls. Our besties get the whole nine yards behind the scenes.
Guys, what do you think we're doing when we take so long to respond to your text? Our best friend is the one who helped us perfectly place that emoji in that super cute reply you got.
Wanna know why I took 13 minutes to reply to your Snapchat? Because I couldn't get a good angle so my best friend helped me judge until I got the perfect one.
And don't even get me started on how long it took her and I to decode the fact that you liked my picture on Instagram exactly 7 minutes after I posted it.
It's easy for us to talk about the boys we're with, but how about the girl that is literally 50% of the reason you're with him?
Especially around this sappy time of year, our boys get all the credit. And, sure, some of it is earned, but without our best friend/sidekick/therapist reading those screenshots and listening to our hour long phone call vent sessions, those boys may not even be around.
So, as it gets closer to Valentine's Day, don't forget to send your bestie some love, too. You and I both know that more than likely, they're the ones that helped you score that dude so you could have a Valentine this year.
