Why Your Childhood Friends Are Your Best Friends

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other gold.

Why Your Childhood Friends Are Your Best Friends
RSVP Magazine

"They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style." – "Sex and the City"

Childhood friends are the best best friends because they have been there your whole life. These kinds of friendships are very special. You know everything about each other, and you sometimes say the same things and can finish each other's sentences. The times you have with each other are so much fun and so cherished.

1. You don't have to explain life stories because they were there.

All major life events, the good and bad times, they were there. They were there when you laughed so hard that you peed your pants. They've been your shoulder to cry on and your right-hand man. They can even remember things about your life that you may not.

2. They have seen all your awkward phases, and they are still your friend.

Through all your phases, they were right there with you probably doing same things.

3. You have no shame around each other.

Anything goes. You know things about each other that no one else knows, so there is nothing to hide.

4. Their house is your house.

You treat their house as if it were your own, and they do the same.

5. You've seen and done all sorts of things together.

All crazy adventures have taken place together. All the years of going to school together, trips, sleepovers, parties and more have formed an unbreakable bond. Any of your favorite memories are theirs, too, and they can help fill in any story.

6. And because of that, you've gotten into all sorts of trouble.

Not all the adventures were good ideas, so of course you got into some trouble together.

7. You can communicate with just one look.

In a tough situation when words can't be used, "the look" is something we all know. With best friends, "the look" can mean so many different things, but somehow we know exactly what the they're trying to say.

8. You can trust them with anything.

You know that you can go to them with anything and everything, and you can trust them with any secrets.

9. TBT pictures are always the best/worst pictures.

Since you've known each other your whole lives, the embarrassing pictures are endless.

The friendships we make through life are all special and have an impact in our lives. Best friends are few and far between. My best friends are the ones I've had my whole life, my childhood friends, and I couldn't imagine life without them. The bonds I have made with my best friends are unbreakable and will last a lifetime.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
