While it’s important to never take anyone in your life for granted, it’s really important to never take a good friend for granted.
The reality is, you don’t know when a good friend will come around again.
Sure, friends are going to make mistakes, but at the end of the day, being there for your friend and appreciating them will be one of the most rewarding things you can do in your life.
And remember, the good friends will stick around, and the ones who don’t aren’t worth your friendship.
9 Reasons Why You Should Never Take a Good Friend for Granted:
1. They are the ones there for you when your family isn’t
No family is perfect, and sometimes you may feel like a family member is turning their back on you. In these instances, you know you can count on your good friend to be supportive.
2. They will be there for you when you have a guy problem
Sure, you may tell your mother everything, but maybe there are some things you’d rather discuss with a friend.
3. A good friend is the best person to reminisce about your past with
No one knows you better than a good friend, which makes them the best person to reminisce with. All the funny things you did when you were younger that you may not even remember, your good friend will.
4. No one will laugh harder with you than your good friend
There is no one that will find weird and random things as funny with you as your friend will. You literally can laugh until your stomach hurts.
5. A good friend is someone you can go to when you’re having problems with your family
Who else do you feel comfortable sharing the most personal details about your family with? Your good friend knows things that no one else knows, and you trust them wholeheartedly.
6. You can text your good friend 1 million times a day and they won’t get sick of you
Your boyfriend might think your 100 messages a day are annoying, but not your best friend.
7. When you have a dilemma and need advice, your good friend is there for you
They are there to read your 100 screenshots of conversations until they fully get the picture, and after dissecting them, they offer you their best advice.
8. “No matter who broke your heart…or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.” – Carrie Bradshaw
Ain’t that the truth.
9. At the end of the day if you hurt your good friend, you know you are only hurting yourself
Your good friend is basically your family, and you know that if you hurt them, you wind up hurting yourself too.
Share this with all your good friends, and promise to never take them for granted.
