the bests.

i have the best friends.

i know everyone must say that, but i really do mean it.

sure, we have our differences. 

we have some disagreements.

we all sure have our own issues, and we're sorting those out together or alone as best we can. 

we have our drama when it comes out, but never for long and never too much.

they are the kind of friends who have twenty-minute shakira dance parties in the living room so loud the upstairs neighbors come down to complain. 

the friends who understand my toothpaste talk. 
they are the friends who help me make my cupcakes, because it's so much more fun when they help.
we all have the same camelbak water bottles. silly, but it counts for something, right?

the friends i don't get annoyed with when they complain-

i just join them. 

they are the ones who will stay up for hours for me just because they know i don't want to be alone and i haven't said everything i want to say, even if we sit in silence for most the time. 

they are the ones who know that banana pancakes are a universal solvent, and they don't judge me when i cut the banana too thick. 

their hugs are universal solvents too. 

they are the ones i have cried to the most, and laughed with even harder. 

they are the first people to pick me up when i'm lower than ever. they will hold me when i want to be held and back off when i don't. 

they are the first people i want to tell good news or a funny story. 

they are the friends who sing the harmony for me, or sometimes let me sing it.

 they will sing in the car at the top of their lungs with me, even if it isn't in tune. 
they are the friends i will always stick up for, even if i disagree.

the friends who make sonic runs with me three times a week just so we can get the summer deals and our cherry limeades. 
they will go visit the lovely ladies at the beehive home with me just because they know it means a lot to me.

they can read minds. they know exactly what each look you give them means, even if they haven't seen it before.

friends i tell everything to, just because i am comfortable enough to tell them anything. 

they are the friends i can't lie to. and i have absolutely no desire to. it might cross my mind if i want to keep something to myself or don't want to tell the whole truth, but as soon as i walk in, there is no way that lie is going to leave my mouth. no way. 

they are the friends who will stay friends no matter what.

they always have my back and i will always have theirs.

they are the people i can't imagine living without because they are the people who make life worth living. they are the people who make it easier to live unafraid.

you know who you are.

love,

lo.
