Your cousins are your first friends in life . They'll be the best friends you have because they understand you and your crazy family and where you come from the best. You have to be family but you don't have to be friends but life is so much sweeter when you are friends. Here are some reasons why your life is so much better when your best friends are also your cousins

They understand your crazy family

They won't be scared off by your crazy family because they are your crazy family but you love them anyways.

Family events are so much better with them

Family events aren't so boring because you always have someone to talk to and escape to a place where just you guys can hang out and no one else can find you.

You can tell them anything

You guys can literally talk about anything and there is no judgment at all. They are the best people to tell you secrets to because you trust them the most.

They always have your back no matter what

When things go wrong your cousins always have your back not matter what even if you're the one in the wrong because thats what family is for.

You're family so you'll always have each others back that means if she doesn't like said person I don't like said person

They will give you their honest opinion of your BF/GF

They will have to approve of your BF/GF and their approval might be more important to your than your parents approval of them does.

You've know them since day one

You're family so they are literally your day ones because you have actually known them that long.

You'll always have someone there for you

You're cousins will always be there for you even if no one else is.

You use to get into all kinds of trouble together

When you were younger you were partners in crime and getting in all kinds of trouble together and now you just hide things better so you don't get into trouble.

They always go along with your ridicules plans

Just because thats what cousins do.

If you're lucky enough to have your cousins as your best friends like I do then your life is pretty good. No matter how long you go without talking you will always pick up right back where you left off. You may fight and get mad at each other but you can't stay mad at each other for a long time. You have the best stories and memories made with them and you wouldn't trade them for anyone else. They are your first friends and your forever friends.
