We all have those best friends that we love to death. You know, the ones you'll do even the most random things for - even if it means picking up a FaceTime call at 2 a.m. to go get Steak 'n Shake. These are the people that you expect to be at your wedding; the people you call up whenever you're in need, or you simply just have a funny story to tell. The people you'd do absolutely anything for.
Having a relationship with someone in which you're best friends with that person is one of the most incredible experiences one could have. I know that my best friends will always be there for me no matter the situation, and I pray that they know I will always be there for them as well. My friends are family to me, and just like family, they can drive me crazy sometimes.
Having best friends is truly a blessing; however, sometimes it can be a curse. I know for a fact that there have been times where my best friends have made me want to pull my hair out (or theirs to be honest.) But these people are just too important to me for me to complain.
Here are some funny things that we all deal with when we have best friends - I think we can all relate to at least a few.
1. Changing your outfit when you walk out wearing the same clothes.
2. Going out when you really don't want to.
3. Accompanying him/her to appointments when you definitely have other things to do.
4. Getting food even though you're broke and not even hungry.
5. Making bad decisions just for his/her entertainment.
6. Doing your hair and makeup and getting dressed just for Instagram photos.
7. Following his/her ex so he/she can still stalk him/her.
8. Putting up with hearing the same story 15 times.
9. Telling a restaurant it's his/her birthday to get him/her a free dessert.
10. Giving advice on what to answer a love interest's text.
11. Staying up late and sacrificing sleep because you have to comfort him/her.
12. Saying you're REALLY going to start going to the gym this time.
13. Spending all of your money on him/her because you just love him/her so dang much.
I could quite literally sit at my desk all day and compile a list of the hundreds of things I do for my best friends on the daily. At the end of the day, I just want to say a huge "thank you" to those people in my life that have remained constant. You all may be a pain sometimes, but you truly are all the MVPs. I wouldn't want to live a life without you all in it.
So here's an ode (or a listicle) to all the best friends out there that make us do crazy things - we love you!
