Forget Broken Hearts From Boyfriends, What Hurts The Most Is Heart Breaks From Losing A Best Friend

Imagine the closest person to you, your absolute best friend. This person is someone that knows you better than anyone else. They can see you through it all, better than anybody. All the secrets you've shared, the late nights venting over boys, the food runs, and countless memories you have. Your future maid of honor, the imagined mother in law of your child, the sister you never had.

It doesn't matter how long you've known them for, they still seem to understand you better than anybody else. No matter how much time you spend with them or how frequently you talk, at the end of the day, that is your other half.

Not even your significant other will share the same bond as this person, boyfriends can come and go, but your best friend will still be there, that shoulder to cry on, and that guidance to console you through all your struggles.

But what happens when that person isn't your person anymore. What do you do when this person you planned an entire future full of laughter until you cry, exotic vacations, and family gatherings is no longer written into your plans.

Who do you turn to when the boy you like finally talks to you, or you get that new job you guys had been talking about. Who are you supposed to confide in when you aren't feeling your best self, or vent to when your parents frustrated you. How are you supposed to react when you see them around, and you guys haven't spoken in forever?

Nobody else knows the highs and lows, so how do you rebuild this connection with somebody else? These are all the questions that flood my mind.

It is hard to imagine anybody else learning your deepest darkest secrets. It's daunting to imagine someone new becoming that other half. The sad reality is the insiders will never be the same and the jokes won't ever be as funny as they once were. The experiences you shared with them will become memories you now have to explain to someone new or things you just reminisce to yourself because you know it won't ever mean the same to someone else.

Best friends are the closest person to you in life, so how do you react when all of a sudden they're just somebody that you used to know?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
