Best friends are truely responsible for making our lifes worth living. Not only are they always up for fun experiences but they are also the ones who are there for us when we need them the most. So, the next time you meet your best friends, thank them for the following 17 priceless things.
1. Thank you for being completely honest with me – even when I don’t want to hear it.
It’s not easy to hear the truth when you don’t want to hear it. There’s something different about hearing the truth from your best friend that makes it a little more bearable. Your best friend knows that always being honest with you will make you trust them, and that’s what friendship is about.
2. Thank you for always bringing my mood up.
Anytime you’re around your best friend your mood automatically gets better. You know you are with someone who knows you inside and out, and you can be your true self around them. How can that not put you in a better mood instantly?
3. Thank you for being just as weird as I am – and enjoying every second of it.
You two wouldn’t be best friends if you weren’t the right amount of weird for each other. Your best friend is someone you can drive around with and sing every song at the top of your lungs, have specific dance moves for these songs, and not give a damn if the cars around you can see. Let’s be honest, the two of you should probably have a reality show.
4. Thank you for being selfless. You have truly made this world a better place by caring more for others than for yourself. You are an inspiration.
Your best friend inspires you to be a better person. Through their daily life they show you how to put others above yourself, and how to enjoy doing so. It takes a special person to be selfless and put others before themselves, if you are lucky enough to have this type of person as a best friend, cherish them.
5. Thank you for knowing when something is wrong with me, and what to do to make it better.
You can’t fool your best friend. They know when something isn’t right with you, even when you try to lie through your teeth. Instead of getting frustrated with you they help you. If you are going through a breakup, they bring you your favorite type of ice cream and help you eat the whole thing. Basically, no matter what’s going on with you they know the remedy to fix it.
6. Thank you for thinking about me.
A simple text asking how you’re doing, or how your day was can instantly change your day around. Your best friend checks in with you just to say hi, because they are thinking about you. It’s a great feeling to know someone cares about you that much. You both take time out of your day just to check in.
7. Thank you for not judging me.
This is one of the most important aspects of our best friends that we forget to thank them for. We don’t always make the best decisions, but they don’t judge us for it. We can tell them anything and they listen without thinking poorly about us. They understand who we are enough to not need to judge us for anything. They love us unconditionally.
8. Thank you for being a true friend – even when we are apart.
Distance can hurt a lot of relationships, but movement is a part of life. Your best friend is someone who has your back even when you aren’t there. They stay true to your friendship through all the miles. You two keep up with what’s going on in each other’s lives because you really care, not because you have to.
9. Thank you for being there through the good times and the bad.
No matter what you are going through you can count on your best friend to be right by your side. Whether you two are celebrating a new turning point in your life, or crying with you through a loss – you know you can always count on them.
10. Thank you for all the happy memories we share.
Let’s face it, life just wouldn’t be as much fun without your best friend. You share more memories with them then you can probably even recall. They keep things interesting and fun. Without them you wouldn’t have so many amazing experiences to look back on.
11. Thank you for going out of your way for me, even when it’s not convenient.
A best friend will go out of their way to help you out. Whether it’s picking you up from the airport during rush hour, or changing their plans for you. A true friendship isn’t always convenient, but neither of you care about that.
12. Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me when I stray.
Sometimes you just need a little extra push. Your best friend encourages you to make changes and believe that you will not fail. They have your best interest at hand and only want you to succeed. When you’re feeling down they know what words of encouragement to use to help get you back on track.
13. Thank you for sincerely loving me, and considering me family.
A best friend loves you for you, and nothing else. When you are acting out of the norm they will call you out on it, all because they care. They (and their family) consider you as their own. You can walk into their house without ringing the doorbell and no one would bat an eye. Card games, family dinners, and vacations are just some perks of having a best friend.
14. Thank you for forgiving me and being patient when we argue.
Arguments happen in any relationship. Your best friend will forgive you for an argument. You both might need some time to cool off, but afterwards things will be as if the fight never happened. At the end of the day, you fight with those you care most about. Your best friend will forgive you, and you will forgive them.
15. Thank you for all the drunken dance parties, cab rides, and heart-to-hearts.
Because who wants to do any of that by themselves? Your best friend will be right beside you on the dance floor, talking the cabbies ear off, and then having serious conversations about life with you. You wouldn’t want to share those drunken moments with anyone else.
16. Thank you for breaking me out of my shell.
Your best friend will push your boundaries. They will make you go places and meet people you never would have on your own. As long as you have them by your side you aren’t afraid to try new things.
17. Thank you for being YOU!
Plain and simple.
