9 X WHY YOU NEED A BEST FRIEND
A BFF is a chemical formula of unconditional love, cut the bullshit and humor. I ran into mine twelve years ago against the beautiful body (you rarely see something that hot) and I've been happy ever since. And this is why you should be super picky about such a specimen.
1. It’s the truth
Even if you try your best to fake your East Indian deafness, you need that one person who tells you straight up what they think. That he’s a delightful idiot or that you need to hit the gym like crazy. I complained for about three years about my fat on the right and left and then she said: ‘And when are you going to stop whining and do something about it?’. Yeah, then I had to.
2. For all your potential fashion blunders
I once got mine laughing so hard just by trying on a pair of pants. And I was somewhat positive about how it looked on my body, but all I heard was: ‘Whaaaa, not like that, moehahaha, neat’. Well, then you know.
3. Because she listens
That you’re ranting for the hundred thousandth time about how he fails to text back. And she then hums with angelic patience and nods with the sweetest eyes that she understands. So nice, even if you’re a klutz.
4. And she’s wise
If you’re a bit dumb, she’s definitely the Einstein in your life. And if she’s a bit clumsy, then you’re the Albert.
“yeah, I know, very weird”
5. The right dose of anger
Because sometimes you’re just mad at the world or having a mega off-day and you need to be put in your place (without kid gloves). The best friend does this with exactly the right amount of strictness and anger. And you’re shocked, because then she’s really scary.
6. For when you make a mess of things
Small messes or big messes, it doesn’t matter. That she holds your hair back when you throw up that last drink. Or she brings you wine because it’s the crappiest day of your life (due to your own fault).
7. And then that love
Look, if you forget her birthday, you’re the chief failure (hey, worst bestie on earth here). But then she texts you at five to twelve at night to check if you’re still alive… Because she’s worried. That’s infinite love.
8. But also for the laughing AND the crying
That you have to cry from laughing, but also just cry hard together. Crying forges best friends forever, it’s a kind of super glue. Just listen to funeral songs together. Meine lieben, the Niagara Falls was nothing compared to that (yeah, I know, very weird).
9. To be a little rebellious
Nice, huh, that you have a job, house, and the whole how-it-should-be nonsense. But sometimes you need to be a little naughty. That works best with your best friend. I mean really teenage nonsense like skinny dipping in your neighbors' pool. By the way, I’ve never done that, but I think it’s a brilliant idea.
