So you moved for a job, or a relationship, but you never imagined long-distance friendships would be so tough. Making new friends and wading through all the preliminary friendship stuff is hard when you already have that one friend at home who can come over in their pajamas and bring you McFlurries, or knows how to have an entire conversation using mainly eyebrow expressions. Here are 15 times when "Parks and Rec" knew that the struggle was real:
1. So you did it. You packed up and said goodbye, but you still don't want to leave your person.
2. And why would you want to?They know everything about you.
You literally begin to doubt whether you'll be able to survive.
3. And when they tell you to have a good time without them and make new friends, it's an offense to your soul.
4. Because, really, on some days you don't want to be with anyone else in the entire world.
5. When they tell you that they're coming to visit, though, the whole world suddenly gets brighter.
6. Because when you're together, you come up with the best ideas...
7. ...introduce them to your new friends and try not to show partiality...
8. (which is definitely hard, considering how much you know they'll charm everyone)
9. And even when you get upset at each other, you know that face-to-face time is a precious commodity so you keep it short.
10. Because- let's be honest- you secretly know that they are the best in the history of time and space.
11. Despite the distance, your loyalty game is still fierce.
12. So when they need you, you'll convince your boss to give you work leave...
13. ....and drop copious amounts of cash on a single plane ticket.
14. Even though leaving them is traumatic to the soul every time,
15. You know it's all worth it when you finally see them again.
because no amount of distance could break you two apart.
