Some of us have been blessed to have a close-knit group of friends for most of our lives. If you’re lucky enough, you might have one BFF. The one who has been by your side since you could remember.
There are stories of babies meeting each other in diapers, only to grow up and remain close throughout the rest of their lives. It’s really a beautiful thing, to have someone who knows you so well, and has been through some of the best and worst moments of your life, thus far.
Here are some relatable signs that let know you have been friends for over ten years:
1. If you’ve grown up together, you’ve been through the “awkward phase”. Frizzy hair, pimply faces, braces, and puberty- you’ve seen your BFF at their worst, and you’re still friends. Here’s to never having the relive the awkward age of middle school, again.
2. You can be extremely honest with each other. If your hair’s greasy- your BFF will have no problem telling you to get in the shower. If your outfit doesn’t match, she’ll dress you to make sure you look your absolute best. If you’re in “dating limbo” with a guy who’s not worth your time, she’ll be sure to tell you that you can do much better than what you’re settling for. Having someone by your side who will be completely honest with you, all the time, is a true friend.
3. You’ve been adopted into the family. You don’t knock when you enter their house anymore, you just walk in, say hi to their parents, sit down and chat. You fight like siblings would; over clothes, shoes, boys, etc… your parents are lucky that you weren’t born sisters, otherwise, they’d be in for it.
4. You’re extremely comfortable with them. When you’re angry and your face turns red, they know how to calm you down. They know just what you need, when you need it. They’ve seen you in all your moods- happy, sad, anxious, embarrassed, and they love you anyway.
5. Best friends, give the best compliments. They say just what you want to hear, and they know exactly what will make you smile.
6. Your BFF has seen you at your worst, and celebrated you at your best.
7. You’ve had plenty of firsts together; first time you got drunk, first kiss, first love, first heartbreak, all of the firsts, you’ve experienced together.
8. With ten plus years of friendship, BFF-telepathy becomes a real thing. You know exactly what the other is thinking with just a blink, wink, or eye-roll.
9. Along with BFF-telepathy, at this point, you share a brain. You can finish each others sentences without batting an eye.
10. Mi casa, Su casa. Your house becomes their house. Your belongings become their belongings. Your closet, becomes their closet. (two times the clothes, and shoes if you’re lucky!)
11. If you happened to separate for college or your best friend moves away, when you reunite, you pick up right where you left off. It’s like no amount of time has passed at all.
12. Your BFF has your back, if you don’t like someone, they automatically dislike that person too. It’s principle really.
13. If she happens to get close to a new friend, it isn’t ok. You get extremely jealous and protective of your bestie. She’s yours, and you will not share.
14. If you two share the same style, accidentally wearing the same outfit out has happened to you…more than once.
15. No one can make you laugh until you cry, quite like your BFF can.
16.Dare someone to say something bad about your bestie in front of you… you’ll gladly throw down if necessary.
17. If someone tells you to keep their secret, it’s an unwritten rule that you will run and tell your best friend as soon as you can.
18. Major crisis’ have been averted because your BFF was right by your side.
19. Your BFF knows all the right things to say, and when you need to hear them. She can instantly cheer you up when you need it most.
20. You know you’ve found a friend for life, and nothing matters more than that.
