We all know the classic television best friend duos and we all compare our own best friendships with those characters—Rachel and Monica, Serena and Blaire, Meredith and Cristina. But with all that comparing, we sometimes forget that our own friendship duo is even better than the ones from our favorite shows because it wasn’t written in a script, it’s real life. With this in mind, I think it’s important that we find what’s unique about our best friendships and that we are thankful for the real things. So here’s to the things to be forever thankful for in friendships:

1. Thank you for not letting me take myself too seriously.

2. Thank you for letting me be as dramatic as I want.

3. Thank you for never letting me feel alone.

4. Thank you for loving tequila as much as I do.
