“You always, always, always push me to be a better person in every way.”

1. The Party Animal. You probably can’t count on them if you need a ride home from the airport or emotional support after your boyfriend dumps you, but if you wanna party, hit ’em up.

“

You need friends who will push you out of your comfort zone, encourage you to do more because they know what you’re capable of – even if you hate them for it at the time.

“

You’d marry them for the benefits and because you know you’re never going to find anyone who loves you as purely and authentically as they do. That’s the harsh reality of having someone so perfect in your life.

“

A true best friend is not just the person you can tell anything to. They’re not just the person you can be a complete goofball with. They’re not just the person who “just gets you” on multiple levels.

“

Thank you for allowing me to be myself when I am with you. Thank you for being part of the genuinely happiest moments of my life, for listening whenever I need someone to tell my saddest stories to, and for letting me feel that you love me even when we are miles apart.

They’re the Bert to your Ernie, the Chandler to your Joey, the Ethel to your Lucy, the Chelsea to your Raven (Any That’s So Raven fans in the house?! Maybe?… Damn it, one too many examples)
