Having a best friend from childhood is a rare gem in life. All of us grow up close to others, but some of us end up drifting away from our once “best friend.” The memories, the happiness, and the conversations drift away with them.
But, for those of us who have a best friend since childhood who is still by our side, there are a few things we all know to be true.
25. You have more stories about each other than your local library.
24. And, you’ve shared every single secret with each other.
23. Which means you have a ton of blackmail on them, so they really have to be in your life forever.
22. They know about your first love.
21. And, your first heartbreak.
20. And, the first time you had sex.
19. You have over a dozen embarrassing pictures of and with each other–even from elementary school.
