1. You know everything about them. Like, seriously, everything.
And they know everything about you.
2. And they know you better than anyone else.
They know what you're thinking by just looking at you.
3. Their family is your family.
Since you've basically hung out since birth.
4. You went through your awkward phase together.
And they never stopped loving you, even when you entered into your goth stage.
5. And they loved you even when you had unfortunate bangs.
That's a true friend.
6. Even if you live in different places now, you can always pick up right where you left off.
And laugh just like you did when you were seven years old.
7. You have a million inside jokes together that will make you laugh uncontrollably anytime you remember them.
Even if it's at two a.m., you text them to remind them of the time you had to run away from the neighbor's dog.
8. You knew how to have fun and waste time together before anyone had even uttered the words "Netflix" or "Hulu."
And you know how to stay in touch without social media.
9. You will ALWAYS have a perfect person to tag in your #TBT posts.
Because when you think of your childhood, you think of your childhood friends.
10. You have a special bond made up of endless sleepovers, family vacations, and summers spent together that could never compare to any other friend in your life.
Nothing will ever compare.
11. They never once questioned you, or made you feel as if you didn't belong as a child.
You were in it together!
12. When you think of home, you think of them.
Because in your heart, they are your home.
13. You never, ever have a shortage of things to talk about.
You have your WHOLE life to talk about!
14. And no matter what, they will support you through every stage of your life.
Because they have all along.
15. You never have to explain things about your past to them... because they were right by your side when it happened.
They get it.
16. You never have a shortage of "homes" to visit.
Because their homes are your homes as well.
17. You went through all of life's important moments together.
And will go through all your future moments together.
18. You know that if/when you both decide to have children... they will absolutely be best friends.
They don't have a choice.
