My best friend and I have been friends since we were in diapers. After only 10 short years, Hurricane Katrina separated us, but we will never not be best friends. Although long distance is tough, I have made a list of sixteen truths you'll know if you have a LDBF (long distance best friend.)
1. Seeing them becomes a huge annual or semi-annual event that requires a lot of strategic planning since you don't see them enough; you have to make sure every second is accounted for.
2. Facetime/Skype/any form of video chat becomes your go to because seeing them in person is not an option
3. Basically knowing all of each other's friends even though you've never met them in person, but when you do it's like you're all already friends.
4. And your home-friends know every single thing about your LBDF because talking about them seems to compensate their absence (not really, but still.)
5. Not having enough cute or recent pictures together to post on Instagram for her birthday.
6. Not being able to spend actual birthday's together
7. Being jealous of all the people who do get to hang out with your LDBFF
8. Not having time (or money) to travel 6+ hours to go visit them as often as you'd like
9. Thanking God for Snapchat
10. Doing random things like going to a party with them feels like a huge deal.
11. Blowing off non-long distance friends when they are in done because #priorities
12. But it doesn't really matter because they probably wouldn't understand the level of friendship between you and your long distance bestie.
13. Being extremely comfortable spending quality time with their family because you've known them for so long and they have accepted you as another one of their children.
14. Even though you many not have met their significant other more than a few times, you still have all the same feels as your bff.
15. In reference to #14, one complaint and he's on your shit list
16. You friendship has zero boundaries #sorrynotsorry
