15 Reasons Why We'll Never Forget Our Childhood Best Friend

0
0

Childhood best friends are a rare and amazing thing–– who else has been there with you through, well, everything? They’ve been a part of your life for as long you can remember and no one will ever be able to understand you in the way that they can. In fact, it’s hard to even refer to them as a “friend,” since they are basically your family. Whether you’ve been separated by college, or still spend practically all your time together, there are certain things you just can’t (and should never) forget about these special individuals.

1. Their house was your house, and vice-versa.

You never had to knock when you came over, nor felt any shame in walking in unannounced. You had enough sleepovers over the course of your childhood that to this day, you can probably still find even the most miscellaneous items in their humble abode.

2. They know all of your secrets.

That time you snuck out in high school to meet a guy? They were probably right there with you, or covering for you at home. The time you skipped school? They never told a soul. The time you had a house party when your parents went away? They helped you plan it. Your childhood BFF was a part of all of those risky (or embarrassing) moments that you can never replace, and you’ll both take them to the grave.

3. They were there with you for all of your firsts.

Whether it was your first kiss, first love, first prom, first heartbreak, first car, first time getting drunk or any other first, they’ve experienced it all with you. You know that no one will ever come close to the bond that this has given you.

4. You have pictures to last a lifetime—seriously!

There is nothing like looking back on pictures of you and your childhood BFF in grade school. What makes it even better? Comparing it to pictures of you and your childhood BFF now! You can’t wait to someday show your children images of a friendship that lasted a lifetime, and can only hope that they have one too.

5. Your friendship could have probably passed as a relationship at one point or another.

When you were both single AF, you and your childhood best friend acted as eachother’s SO. Seriously –– you went on a million dinner dates where one of you probably treated the other to a free meal, had plenty of movie nights where you cuddled and ate ice cream, spent late-nights talking on the phone for hours, and so much more. How can you ever forget all of those BFF-inspired Valentine’s days you spent singing to Taylor Swift, eating pizza and crying?

6. Songs of the 2000s will ALWAYS take you back to a memory you shared.

You laugh every time you hear The Black Eyed Peas or Britney Spears and envision you and your BFF rocking out in your living room. Don’t even forget about all those Hannah Montana songs...

7. You still have all of your sentimental BFF gifts buried in your closet.

Because in middle school, hand-written cards and Microsoft Word picture collages were the sh*t! When you’re feeling sentimental, you love to pull out all of your old bestie memorabilia and take a trip down memory lane. But really –– why did you always dedicate a page to each other in your yearbooks as if you wouldn’t see each other every day of the summer? Not to mention, you still had years of school left together… Whatever the reason, you're thankful.

8. They supported you through some of the hardest times in your life.

When you look back on those difficult times growing up, you know that you only got through them because you had your BFF there as your rock. Your childhood best friend witnessed you overcome some of your biggest struggles to date, and this is something you’ll always appreciate.

9. They stood by you in your awkward and unfashionable stage.

Juicy velour sweatsuits. Ugg boots. Glitter eyeliner. Waaaaaay too much eyeshadow. Platform flip-flops––your childhood BFF was still your friend through all of these ridiculous trends. In fact, she was probably rocking them with you!

10. They were your friend before Facebook was a thing.

Who else was in your MySpace top? Your AIM profile? One thing’s for sure, your childhood BFF was. Oh, how we wish there was some way to uncover old instant message chats between the two of you. Either way, you both still laugh at your memories from the primitive days of social media.

11. Relationships came and went, but your BFF never did.

There is nothing like the sting associated with the end of your first real relationship, but you survived with your best friend by your side. They knew the person who broke your heart, knew how much you were hurt, and were the first ones to come running with candy and tissues. Your bestie was always ready and willing to remind you just how f**king awesome you were!

12. Neither of you can even remember how you became friends.

Was it the playground at recess? Was it when you both went to the nurse's office in elementary school? Did your parents introduce you? You honestly don't even know. Yet, somehow the vagueness just makes your childhood BFF mean that much more to you.

13. You never had to pretend with each other.

If they were at your house and said, “I’m thirsty, can I have a glass of water?”, your immediate response would be, “You know where the glasses are… go get one yourself!!!” What better symbol of true friendship is there than that?

14. You learned about life together

Sure, it may be easier to know the kind of people you want to be friends with as you get older and know yourself better. However, there is a certain magic in the fact that while you were learning about yourself, your childhood BFF was learning about herself, too. You experienced life as a duo, the good times and the bad, and grew together.

15. They made you who you are today

Even if you aren’t as close anymore, your childhood bestie made you the person that you are today––literally and figuratively! They opened your eyes to things you would have never otherwise seen, always reminded you of the great person that you really were and still are, and so much more. You are a better person of it.
