I have known my best friend for approximately four years now, and on June 8, 2016, it will be our four anniversary of friendship! She has been there through better or worse, we've been mistaken as a couple at least 10 times over and I appreciate her more than anything! I say thank you for little things, like when you buy me food or listen to my rambles, however I don't thank you enough for these more important things.
1. Being able to stuff my face, without being judged when I have one too many chicken nuggets.
Is your best friend actually your best friend if at least one activity doesn't have to do with food? If anything, that's the one thing we can agree upon at all times. 95.8 percent of our activities have to do with eating. I never get judged for being able to drink an iced coffee in literally a span of a store and a half, and then eating 20 chicken nuggets to the face (even when I regret it later). Think of it as pre-gaming before going to a club and drinking, we pre-eat.
2. Sharing her home personal space.
I am not talking about your average sleepover, I am talking about straight trying on every shirt until I find a perfect one, or raiding her fridge at 2 in the morning. I know where the spare key is to let myself in if ever there before her, or even using her bathroom to put the nasty color oops in my hair, when I mess it up...quite frequently.
3. Never giving me the "I told you so!" out loud.
I can admit, I am not the brightest bulb, and my best friend knows that. However, instead of saying anything audible, we have the look. We share a bond of communicating between looks, and thankfully I told you so is one we have mastered.
4. For telling me how it is.
Thankfully, I have one of the most blatantly honest best friends in all of society. Every time I have a horrible outfit, and I ask how it is, she won't lie. She won't laugh at the horrible choices of men I have sometimes, and totally lets me know how she feels about every one—but for the best because she knows how it will end. She is the one to let me cry about it, but helps me become the stronger person I am by picking me up.
5. Thank you for understanding my humor.
As I cope, I use humor as my dark help and some people think it's strange. However, she gets me. Apparently I have even helped her with my dark humor, which could be really good—or I have corrupted her. Either way, she's seen it and hasn't judged me once.
6. Going out of her way to help me.
In friendship, you never want to waste your time with someone who only makes it convenient for them to see you. However, you get my busy schedule and make time for me, even if I only have a few hours in between jobs, or I just have had a long tiring day.
7. Thank you for helping my problems, and making them your issues too.
If I am having a rough day, you prioritize and try to make me smile. You get down to the root of the issue, and yank it from the ground up. You can't solve all of my problems, but you try and help me through them and that's all that matters!
8. Thank you for letting me be me!
I am an odd, sickly, different person. Only you have quite understood my medical drama, and got why I wasn't in the mood to see what's-his-name that day. You understand my ever different feelings on a variety of different subjects, the way I study at 2 a.m., but then only sleep until 8 in the morning, or when I randomly decide to bake at odd hours of the day.
9. For knowing when I am upset.
I have my ups and my downs, but who doesn't? I try and mask my pain, but you always see right through it. You're my help when I have nobody else to go to, even if I just cried to you for 25 minutes because they guy I liked just wanted other intentions, or my rage when I get a bad grade and could of done better.
10. For being you.
We wouldn't be best friends if we didn't click the way we did, but we just do. We met on a trip to New York to go on a boat, and have had only smooth sailing from there on out. I love you!
