Since we were young, it's been ingrained in our heads that girls should be best friends with girls and guys should be best friends with guys. Obviously things have changed since then because people can be friends with whoever they want. I love having so many strong friendships with both guys and girls and it's important to me have a variety. I love spending time gossiping and watching sappy movies with my girlfriends more than anything, but sitting and laughing with my guy friends makes me just as happy.

My guy friends are extremely important to me. I can easily talk to them about anything without having to worry about being judged. I can honestly say I talk to them just about as much as I talk to my girlfriends. They know how to laugh with me, but also know when I need them to be serious.

I also know I can definitely be myself around them. I never have to feel self conscious about how much food I eat or how I look because they don't care about that stuff. And plus I know they'll eat way more than I will anyway. I can hangout with them with no makeup, and sweatpants and I know they'll still like me.

Besides venting about my problems, I know my guy friends can give me great advice. While constantly making me laugh, somewhere in the midst of things, they always know the right things to say. They'll tell me if a guy is interested, if he's right for me or if he just a straight up asshole. My guy friends also give me advice about stress, my girlfriends, my family and pretty much anything else. It's great because I know they have my best interests in mind.

I know that I have endless support system from any of my friends whether guys or girls. My guy friends also give the best hugs. My bad days are always easier when I spend time with my guy friends. They are shoulders to lean on and people I can truly rely on. They don't cause drama and are down to be stupid and silly at any time. My guy friends are also always ready to try new things. I've experienced so many new food, cultural, and exciting opportunities through my guy friends because they'll always take a trip with me. They put up with my quirks. I'm weird, come on who isn't, but no matter what they want to hang out with me anyway.

I'm not saying my girlfriends don't get me or that I don't love spending my time with them because I do,but it's nice to have my guy friends around too. I appreciate the times I die of laughter because of something one of them said. They are full of stupid jokes, constant teasing, and amazing hugs and advice. I wouldn't trade the relationships i have with my guy friends for anything. Thanks for sticking by me. I hope you know how much you all me to me!
