Priceless Friendships

A while back, I was browsing the site lifehack.org, and came across this article, “17 Priceless Things We’ve Forgotten to Thank Our Best Friends For.”  Of course, inspiration hit.  Not that I need an article to tell me how lucky I am to have such amazing friends supporting me, but it came to me at a time when I needed it.  (Let’s get sappy here) When I’d begun to feel alone and left out, I read this and just felt so much better, all in a matter of minutes.  Now, long after I originally found this article, I am sharing it with you, and why I am personally grateful for my friends.  The numbers below coordinate with the points listed in the Life Hack article.

Thank you best friends- you know who you are.  (and please don’t hate me for sharing this photos!)

(#1) Complete Honesty- The first person that came to mind when I read that was Chrystal.  No matter how much I hate hearing the truth in the moment, Chrystal is always the first person to be as blunt as necessary with me, even if it means saying something no one else is brave enough to do.  (making her the best person in the world to go shopping with!)  If you don’t have someone in your life like this, you need this type of friend.  And if you are this person, you are such a valuable assest to any group.  Embrace it!

(#3) Weirdness- This statement perfectly described my relationship with Megan.  From holding up signs to each other that say, “Got your CONK,” to making blanket forts to sleep in, our friendship literally has no boundaries.  We’ve known each other since we were in diapers and I can’t imagine my life without her.  We’ve gotten closer as we’ve gotten older, but even before texting and smartphones, whenever we would see each other (often years in between visits), it would be as if no time has passed. 

(#9) Good Times and Bad- Brittany absolutely has seen the good and bad.  Whenever something happens, even if it isn’t to me or involving me, she is the first person I want to tell.  Basically, I want to tell her my every random thought.  This is why Twitter can be a good thing, without it, or something like it, (or other friends) Brittany would never be able to use her phone as it would have a constant stream of my thoughts.  Because that wouldn’t be annoying right?  Thanks for being such a supportive friend, and for always knowing the right things to say at the right time!
