The definition of a bestfriend
So on this special day, the day my bestie celebrates 20 years of life, I feel it necessary to write a post about you. We’ve known each other what? 14 years? can you believe that? I still regret that we haven’t always been extremely close, even if we survived more than one friend group together, we’ve never been as we are now and it’s a real shame.
You’re the greatest for many reasons but my fave reasons would be, how awkward you are, how understanding and open-minded you are, how hilarious you are and finally how much you really care about our friendship. I can’t count how many times I’ve done something ridiculously stupid and dangerous and you’ve told me straight up how dumb it was of me, but can still manage to laugh and be generally amused and supportive of my turmoil. Every time we’re in an awkward or otherwise uncomfortable situation it is so amusing and you get so mad at my pleasure of seeing you squirm. But the best part is that the reason you squirm is because you want so badly to state your opinion and be true to yourself but never want another person to feel inadequate or offended. Just another way you show how much love you have to offer to the world and I’m so lucky to be one of the people you share that with.
You’ve opened my eyes to so many beautiful, weird and fascinating things, pushed my boundries, earned my complete trust(a rare and difficult thing to get) and I feel like it’s made me a better person. I feel like i’m of more use to the world because of you.
Thank you for not rubbing my poor decisions in my face when i’m crying to you about the repercussions of the bad decisions, thank you for laughing with me when I’m laughing at the most ridiculous things ever, thank you for fangirling with me and mutually agreeing to never judge each other for it. Thank you for reeling me in when necessary but acting a fool right along wit me when it isn’t. Thank you for seeing the deepest, darkest, ugliest parts of me and CHOOSING to remain such a positive presence in my life. I know you think you’re the lucky one in this friendship, because people have hurt you and left and I’m still here. But the truth is, I’m the one who lucked out with our friendship. All of those people couldn’t handle all of your greatness and I think they’ll truly live to regret the day they abandoned you. I hope I can continue to show you how much you mean to me, how important our friendship is to me, through our everyday interactions. You’ve been in my head( a horrifying place) and voluntarily re-visit on a regular basis.
I guess I’d just like to say thank you for being fabulous and for setting the standard so high for what i feel friendships should be like. I mean how unique can you be?! You even have a certain way you spell my nickname and say any other spelling is wrong haha, such a diva and I love it. You da bestest and I love you. It’s been 14 years and here’s to a bijillion moreeee!! Happy birthday babe <3
