Best friends are self-explanatory — they’re the best. They’re those who you can be yourself around, who care for you and who make you feel better just by being around them. Having a best friend is an absolute blessing, but it doesn’t have to be just one person. You don’t have to be Meredith or Cristina from “Grey’s Anatomy.” You can have multiple people who you call your best friends. Who made the silly rule of only being able to have one best friend, anyway?
I’ve always seemed to get along with different, yet equally amazing, people. I opened my heart to not just one friendship, but many. Every friend is different, and each relationship is different. The friendship could have formed at a different time in your life for different reasons. I have a best friend who I have been close with since kindergarten, and she is still my best friend almost 14 years later. I have my group of girls from middle school who I have been inseparable with, my high school pals, my boyfriend and my best friend from college. Each person brings a certain dynamic that not just anyone can. Some friends are sensitive and there when you’re down. Or they’re the people you text in the middle of the night to share the dumb things that pop into your mind! Maybe you even have friends who can do both.

Plus, everything is more fun in a group. It can be hard to choose who to be with because sometimes, you just can’t hang out with everyone. When you can, though, it opens your life to more fun. I even met some of my best friends through other friends. You can make memories that will last for years, and many friends to share the goofy inside jokes with!
Having more than one best friend means that you always have someone. You have someone to talk to, someone to relate to and someone to hang out with. There will always be someone who has your back, if not more than one. You have friends who you can always count on. More friends means more love. I don’t think there’s anything better than that. Having just one best friend is more than enough, but whoever says you can only have one is wrong. What’s special about each friend is that they all choose to encourage me, deal with all of my moods and love me for who I am. I would undoubtedly do the same for each one of them. They each complete the puzzle of who I am, as corny as that sounds. They have made me better in so many ways, and I wouldn’t trade any of them for anything.
