To My Friends Who Supported Me When I Was In A Dark Place

Thank you. I know it wasn’t easy for you to see me like that. Someone who once smiled brighter than the sun to a person who struggled to talk. I wasn’t the person I had been a week ago, and I know that it’s hard to understand how things can change overnight, but you did, and you didn’t question it. I was in a dark place filled with sorrow, pain, and self-loathing—so much self-loathing. I couldn’t understand why I was drowning, and the thought of coming back up for air was impossible. But you were there. You saw past the fake smiles and the “I’m okay” and listened when I dared to talk.


I kept waking up thinking that this would be the morning I felt like me again, but every morning that passed seemed to grow darker. Until one morning, I saw the light. To my disbelief, it wasn’t bright and seemed so far away, but it was there. It’s been two weeks, and three days since the moment I stopped being that girl. The girl that called her friends to check in, the girl that smiled at her neighbors she loathed, the happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine that saw past all the bad in life. I know two weeks and three days doesn’t seem like a long time, but it felt like an eternity to me. But you were there; you have always been there even when I didn’t feel worthy of that kind of friendship. It’s hard to believe that my own body and mind could handle that type of raw emotion, but it’s over now, and I’m ready to be me again. I won’t be the same girl I was before because that type of darkness changes you, but I’ll be a better version of myself. A version of myself that is courageous and strong. A version of myself swam to the surface towards the light and now breathes a fresher air. 

I don’t know how to thank you for the support you gave me during that time, but please know how grateful I am for your friendship. I am out of that dark place now. 

24 Weird Things You Can Only Do with Your BFF

The best part of a best friendship is that there are no judgments.

 

And that means you’re free to be your absolute weirdest (and questionably worst) self with them. They’ve seen you at your hyperventilating, dry-heaving, sobbing with mascara down your cheeks, and completely drunken rambling about your ex self, and still loved you.

 

There are some things that you can only do with your BFF because anyone else would judge you. Hard. Or be absolutely disgusted. Or both.

 

Ugly cry.

 

Especially when you’re both drunk.

 

Eat literally all the food.

 

Pizza, fries, mozzarella sticks, Cheez-Its, cookies…

 

And you probably do this without leaving the bed/couch.

 

Peel off each other’s face masks.

 

Say, “OMG feel my legs, they’re so smooth/hairy!”

 

And actually touch them, obviously.

 

Get waxed together.

 

And then talk about how it went.

 

Facebook stalk each other…when you’re together.

 

Talk about pimples.

 

And other weird bodily functions.

 

Text each other your symptoms when you think you’re dying.

 

Best friends are as good as doctors, right?

 

Send each other ugly snaps.

 

And pictures of the weird bruises and cuts and weird things on your body.

 

Come up with weird inside jokes that no one else understands…

 

…and proceed to laugh about them in public so everyone else thinks you’re crazy.

 

Go to the bathroom with each other.

 

Nipple check each other when one of you is worried you might fall out of your top.

 

You probably have a code word if it’s close to happening.

 

Share everything from mascara to bikini bottoms.

 

But never boys, we gotta draw the line somewhere.

28 Things That Happen When You and Your BFF Are Attached at the Hip

Because a BFF is probably the only person you wouldn’t get tired of doing all the things with.

 

You’re always each other’s plus one.

 

When people see you apart, they ask where your other half is.

 

…And you just look at them like a lost puppy.

 

When the two of you are dating people, your significant others MUST get along.

 

That’s why dating friends is the ideal situation.

 

And if only one of you is dating someone, the other never third wheels…the boyfriend does.

 

If you’re not physically together, you’re texting, tweeting, snap chatting, all of the above.

 

Your parents ask about their life when they ask about yours.

 

And they are always invited to family events.

 

You can communicate with one look.

 

And you can tell by the tone of their voice what they’re REALLY thinking.

 

Most of your pictures are with them.

 

Because you obviously have opposite good sides.

 

And all the posts on your wall are from your BFF.

 

You say the same thing at the same time more often than not…

 

…or send almost the exact same texts.

 

You know all about their sex life.

 

To My Bestie, I Wish You Could See Yourself Through My Eyes

You are such a beautiful person, inside and out, I just wish you saw yourself the way I see you.

You exude strength in any situation that you are faced with. I have never known anyone who is as strong as you.

The way you stand up for yourself and the others that you love shows you have courage. You have never been known for backing down from a challenge. 

You’re the type who always powers through because you have the courage to move forward.

Happiness isn’t negotiable for you, you always try your best to find it under any circumstances. That trickles down from your strength. Even your smile helps to heal others.

You love everyone so fiercely. I don’t know how you have unconditional love for everyone you know. Every relationship that you have you cherish and hold tight to you

When someone hurts you, it not an easy fix because of the love you have for everyone else.

Confidence radiates off of you but never in an arrogant way. You carry yourself with your head held high and when someone tries to hurt you with their harsh words it just rolls off your back. 

In dark times, you carry this sense of hope that is so beautiful. Hope that the future will be better. Hope for the people you love. Hope for yourself.

You work harder than anyone I know. You put your best effort towards everything in life and you make me so proud. 

I hope one day you can see yourself the way I do, because to me you are the epitome of everything I could ever hope to be.

You constantly inspire and amaze me, and I am beyond lucky to call you my best friend.
