We all have friends who we can’t imagine life without. You’ve been friends forever but can’t remember how it all started. Looking back, it happened so quickly so it’s interesting to break it down and see how everything happened. Friendship levels are a real thing, and let’s all admit we’ve said, “we just aren’t at that level yet!” Check out each of the friendship levels below:
Seeing them for the first time
Complimenting them to break the ice
And again to try to win them over
And once more for good measure
Trying to make them think you have your life together
Stalking them on social media to know what you’re getting yourself into
Putting one too many exclamation marks and emojis in your texts so you seem excited
Starting to like them more than they like you
Discovering you have mutual interests
Going out for the first time together
Passively judging the other’s poor decisions
Actively judging the other’s poor decisions
Making up after a first fight
Embracing each other’s quirks
Learning each other’s secrets
Understanding everything they say (despite how little sense it makes)
Discovering you can be 100% yourself with them
Messing with each other just because you can
Accepting that you will see each other at your worst
Watching someone else call your friend their best friend
Becoming unphased by their habits
Becoming a force to be reckoned with
That is always in sync
Knowing just what it takes to brighten their day
Not remembering how it was to not be friends
Now when you see each other it’s a whole lot of this
And this
To all our friends:
Becoming friends with someone isn’t always the easiest experience, but it’s well worth the ups and downs.
