1. You have a numerous amount of inside jokes.

“We are telepathic.” That is what you say when this happens...which is a lot.

These stories always end with bursts of laughter no matter what.

Even if you do not know why or who this person is; you hate this person. The rule is, if your BFF hates this person, then so do you.

11. You give each other “the look” and your BFF knows exactly what you mean.

Taboo should have a rule saying, “BFFs not allowed on the same team.”

Your best friend is basically your sibling. He/she doesn’t feel the need to hesitate in front of your family. Everyone loves your best friend and at every family reunion, your best friend has to make an appearance, or else, it is not going to be a pretty picture.

13. Every moment is always a crazy and fun moment.

The thought. “I’m bored” has never crossed your mind when you are with your best friend. Every second is memorable and whenever you’re not with your BFF, you play the moments you were with them in your head.

14. Even if it has been only a couple hours since you have seen your best friend, you guys talk and laugh like it has been years and you have so much to catch up on.

Then, there is the super long hug that always somehow has the swaying in it.

15. There is nothing that you know that your best friend does not.

The second you or your best friend learns something new, you call each other and fill them in.

16. When there is an argument or disagreement, you both can not stay mad at each other for long because it is just too hard.

It is that simple. It is just too hard to stay mad at the one person you tell everything to. Safe to say, it is quite impossible.

17. Whenever and wherever you need ANYTHING, your best friend is the one person that you can always count on.

Whenever you need a shoulder to cry on, your BFF is there. Even if your best friend is in the middle of something insanely crucial, you can count on their presence.

18. There is no hesitation between you both. There is no awkwardness between your unbreakable bond. You borrow their clothes and vice versa. What is theirs is yours. That is just the way it has always been.

19. The future does not exist without your BFF by your side.

You know in your heart that you are going to conquer everything life throws at you with your best friend. Your BFF is going to be the one doing your hair for your first job interview, be there at your wedding, and etc There is no moment you imagine without your best friend by your side.
