21 Things You'll Only Understand If You've Been Best Friends Since You Were 11

    Most of your conversations start with "remember that time when..."

    1. You probably met on your first day in secondary school.

    2. Since then you've had a least one seriously dramatic fight, which at the time you thought was the end of your friendship.

    3. Now that fight seems like an insignificant blip, and you can't actually imagine anything that could break you two up.

    4. You've talked about every romantic encounter you've ever had with them.

    5. At the beginning every single text message and cinema date was a major excitement.

    6. Nowadays you're still super excited to hear about any news, but the best thing is receiving truly disastrous Tinder screenshots.

    7. You've got enough blackmail material on each other to last a life time.

    8. You've seen each other wear some very regrettable outfits.

    9. Nowadays you can be brutally honest and know that it comes from a place of love.

    16. They are one of the few people who you can bitch about your family to, because they know them so well.

    17. You've been through so much drama together, and they practically know every detail of your life.

    18. You have so many in-jokes that it's almost impossible for anyone else to understand what you're saying.
