Today marks me knowing my very best friend for exactly six months. This past summer I started a summer job, and never in a million years did I imagine leaving that job with such a great friend. In 184 days my friend and I went from complete strangers to the best of friends. We had an instantaneous friendship that has been inseparable since the day we met. Marking half a year of friendship I decided to dedicate a blog post to my sweetest friend. Six months of friendship; six reasons why I love our friendship!
1. I love that we don't have to act our age. Can you say blanket forts? On multiple occasions. There is something so sweet about having a friend that you can act like a child with. When we are together we don't have to be grown ups, or face the reality of adulthood, we can just let all of our worries fall to the side. From juice boxes to little kid voices. Thank you for bringing out my inner child.
2. I love that you inspire me in the best way. You have singlehandedly pushed me further than anybody else in my life has been able to in such a short time. You have been such a light. The life you live and the example you set honestly make me want to be a better person.
3. I love (well, love/hate) that we don't always get to see each other. Don't get me wrong, I do not in any way enjoy not getting to see you any time that I want. But living further apart makes our hellos even sweeter. I actually like having a friend that is so hard to say goodbye to. And I certainly enjoy always having a reunion to look forward to, even if I don't always know when that time will come.
4. I love that you walk the talk. You know how hard it has been for me to make and keep friends in the past. And after you're promise to be best friends forever it wasn't all that much for scenarios of the opposite to creep into my head. Luckily, God blessed me with a friend who doesn't just talk the talk. Girl can walk it out (I sure hope you laugh at that as much as I did.)
5. I love that we love to laugh together. I think it's quiet possible that we can laugh at anything and everything. From the way someone holds their hands on their hips to how a counselor dives into a pool to the same Facebook posts. We don't even have to say a word; one look and we are rolling. It brings me so much joy that I have to say "stop, or I'm gonna pee from laughing so hard" way more than the average person.
6. I love you. Simple and sweet. I just love the absolute mess out of you. And I am beyond thankful for the 6 months that I've had you in my life.
I could say so much more, but I will leave it at that. Thank you for six months of laughs, tears, smiles, and memories. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our lives hold for us and our friendship.
xoxo
