Having a friend is one thing, but having a best friend is something completely different. When you have someone in your life that is there through it all, sometimes we forget to thank them for it all, so this is for you best friend.

1. Thank you for going through all of our weird/awkward teen phases with me

Aeropostale, dark eyeliner, and trying to become grown up and "hot" all before we knew what it even was. So thank you for experimenting all of the ugliest and most awkward things we possible could've made ourselves into.

2. Thank you for being honest with me when you knew something was a bad idea or choice

A friend will sometimes tell you white lies to protect your feelings, but being my best friend, you would rather be honest and prevent me from doing something stupid. Even if it's brutal honesty.

3. Thank you for loving me even after I mess up and do something that was dumb

Yes, even after you told me it was a bad idea, I may or may not have done it anyways. With best friends, we're so close to that sometimes I may want to seek their approval, I know you know what's best for me.

4. Thank you for listening to me go on and on about a guy or a problem

You may listen to me vent every night about the same thing and I may never actually do anything to fix it, but thank you for listening anyways.

5. Thank you for allowing your family to become my second family and mine yours.

From helping each other with our chores when we were little, to our parents scolding one of us like we were their own child. But throughout the years I know my family would do anything for you and yours would do anything for me.

6. Thank you for being there for me when and how nobody else will ever be.

Among all the tears, laughs and between our darkest and happiest moments, I'd never want anyone else there except you.

7. Thank you for not changing or growing apart and still being my best friend after all these years

Thank you for everything you've given me all these years of our lives, I really don't know what I'd do without you.
