There are probably around a million and five articles out there about best friends and why "mine is way better than yours." Well, consider this one the million and sixth article, because sometimes people need to hear just how much they mean to us.

Dear Best Friend,

You are the person I turn to for absolutely everything, big or small, and that means the world to me. I'm not sure how long I could live without being able to tell someone my exact, step-by-step thought process about overthinking something that won't be important in 2 months. You save me from my own insanity, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Sitting back and thinking about an awesome memory from a spur-of-the-moment adventure is great, but being able to think back to the nights all we did was drink wine, watch movies, and bitch is even better. I remind myself that it's okay if we don't go out and do something, because the party is right wherever we are. We laugh, cry, and ugly-Snapchat away the night, and honestly, I'd rather be doing that over anything else (most of the time—we gotta stop being such homebodies).

We have a great time just driving to breakfast and dancing in the car like complete imbeciles because, who cares if anyone sees? We look adorable doing it, and we have no intention of stopping. Catching up after an absence of a couple days or a couple months is slightly obsolete, only because we might not see each other every day, but we sure as hell do text on the reg. Except face to face, we can see each other's exact expressions when we talk about something we definitely shouldn't have done (it so seemed like a good idea at the time).

Every best friend relationship is different—they grow from being new friends, to good friends, to best friends, to basically being sisters. Every step of the way to you becoming my family has been emotional, exciting, nerve-wracking, and absolutely beautiful.

I have absolutely zero idea what I would do without you, and I have no intention of ever finding out. Sorry love, you're sorta stuck with me, and I know we wouldn't have it any other way.
