Ah, childhood friendships—where the sweet memories linger like the scent of a favorite candy. While your friendship may have changed over the years, that connection remains as solid as ever. No matter how long it’s been since your last chat or how many miles separate you, you effortlessly slip right back into that cozy BFF groove. Texts and emails might be your main mode of communication now, and you may not have seen each other for eons. You could be living in entirely different countries, juggling various careers, and holding differing views on parenting, politics, and everything in between. Yet, through it all, you were besties back then, and you’re still besties now. Here are ten delightful reasons that illustrate why your friendship has stood the test of time:
- You both remember the awkward details of your first times—like when she spilled the beans on her first crush, and now she knows exactly how often you’re getting it on.
- You both swayed to “Dancing Queen” at your school prom and then found yourselves belting it out at each other’s weddings—talk about a timeless classic!
- You’ve been there to witness each other in less-than-glamorous moments—be it a night of too much cheap wine, the joys of morning sickness, or the tough times during treatment.
- She might owe her marriage to you after you played matchmaker with her husband.
- After that epic hair dye disaster in high school, she promised to go purple with you; when she faced breast cancer, you offered to shave your head in solidarity.
- You shared a dorm room in college, so seeing each other in various states of undress was just part of the package. Now, you’ve even shared intimate experiences like post-mastectomy visits.
- You both still crush on the same celebs—her love for Justin Timberlake and your fascination with Johnny Depp has never waned.
- You’ve passed around everything from makeup to maternity bras and even breast pumps—because sharing is caring, right?
- You know the ins and outs of her tricky relationship with her mom, and she’s been there for you as you navigated the challenges of becoming a mom yourself.
- After all this time, being together still feels like coming home, no matter how far apart you may be.
