Most people have that one cousin, or in my case two, that are more than just your cousin. From family gatherings, stressful times, and the awkward phases they have been there through it all. Growing up together since birth creates a special of bond that can never be replicated. Together you have experienced things and know each other on a completely different level, creating a long list of the things only you and your cousins can relate to.

1. You used to beg your parents to let you sleep over their house

2. Every conversation is 85% gossip

Between family drama, friend drama, and everything the sun, you never run out of juicy gossip.

3. You tell each other everything

4. You've been there for each other through everything life has to offer

5. Nine times out of ten you all can be found laughing

6. Their home gives you a homey feeling

Living 5 minutes around the corner means you've spent half your life at their house. If anyone's home, besides your own, can make you feel at home, it's theirs.

7. You're brutally honest with each other

Don't like their outfit choice, think they need a haircut, or think they are being dramatic? You tell them.

8. You have a cousins only group chat

Which includes memes, invites to hangout, and lastly, family drama - you gotta love it.

9. You need their approval for everything

Should I get my haircut? What about this dress for prom?

10. Saying goodbye is a twenty-minute ordeal

Can we just live together already??

11. You know exactly what each other are thinking without saying a word

Every raised eyebrow, eye roll and smirk means something.

12. You talk in code

13. You've spent countless hours planning each other's weddings

From the dress, to the bridesmaids, and the type of cake - you have it all planned.

14. Despite your age, you still sit at the kids tables

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and every family function includes you all sitting at a table exiled from everyone else.

15. You can't imagine your life without them
