Thank You For Being A Better Me

It may be cliche, but you are my best friend and you need to hear this.

Thank You For Being A Better Me
Personal Picture

I just want to say, thank you. To the friend who's always been there.

This is for all the friendships out there that have been through an extremely long, yet totally awesome journey together. You spend more time with this person thank you spend by yourself, and they know EVERY single detail about your life, career, relationships and eating habits. You are BFFLs for LIFE.

Whether you've known them for a decade or just a few months, it doesn’t matter because you just connected so well. It was,like, fate. Your best friend is basically you, but better.

But, have you ever thanked them? No? Well, here is your moment.

Think about why you should be thankful. Try not to remember the screen shot they took of your ugly snap chat this morning, or the time she stole your pants and and blatantly wears them when the two of you go out. Let's just think about the amazing times you've had together.

Like the time you were so sick you could barely breathe out of either nostril, and they asked you to list off every symptom you had just before you received an I’m coming overtext. And then they brought you every little thing you could ever need or dream of at that moment.

And remember when you were having a major meltdown in the middle of the 13th street bathroom, and the only person in the world you wanted at that moment was your best friend. Because you know that they know exactly what to say to get you out of that funk. And, the best part is, is that they already knew you needed help and they're waiting for you with open arms to talk. And this feeling makes you wonder what life would ever be like without them.

Did I mention that the laughter that follows those stupid conversations is so infectious that you get a buzz? Also, we both know you most definitely have those inside jokes that no one can or will understand, ever. Like when you randomly bring up something that you tagged them in on Instagram and then the both of you weep with laughter as the world around you is awkwardly starring. But who cares right? Definitely, not your best friend.

These are the only people who understand when you're flat out broke because there is absolutely no judgment and there’s no hey want to go out to dinner this week. Because you both are considerate to the fact you can only afford the lone box of Kraft mac-and-cheese in the cabinet.

When it comes to you two, there isn't a price on fun. As far as you're concerned, you can have just as much fun watching the new Zac Efron movie in pajamas while chowing down on your mac and cheese.

There are so many personal backstories that you can think of when thinking about your best friend. Including all of the memories that were made due to dumb choices that you made together.

But, you are thankful. Yeah, you really are. So here is your chance thank your best friend for always being there. For being that parent when you're in need of love and guidance. For being a critic when needed, and for that laughter that only escapes your mouth when you are with them.

Because I am thankful for my best friend. I am thankful that she makes me a better me. She IS a better me.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
