I’ve known my best friend for nearly 16 years now, which just makes me feel really old!
We met in our first year at University, lived in a shared house together in our third year and then rented a house together just the two of us for a year after we graduated.
She has been a huge part of my life, for almost half my life.
But we’ve spent about half of our friendship apart, after she selfishly decided to move away and leave me!
What’s wonderful though, is that our friendship is still going strong, despite the distance between us. And when we do get together it’s as if we saw each other just the day before.
This quote really sums it all up for me:
“True friendship isn’t about being inseparable, it’s about being separated and nothing changes”
Do I wish things were different, and that she still lived just round the corner? Oh my word yes.
But I think our friendship was built on such a great foundation of shared experiences, laughter, tears and shots of Archers that no distance can really come between us! She knows me so well, and has seen me through so much in my life, there’s no changing that kind of history.
Besides, what’s that other quote? We’ll always be friends … you know too much!
So true! I can count on one hand how many friends I can say this about. Thanks for sharing #candid-cuddles
They’re the best kind of friends aren’t they though. x
this makes me think of my best friend, we meet when we were 11 and now she lives far away, we were just chatting before and planning our next catch up. We plan to get together for my birthday in July and book a hotel and do some shopping in the city, can’t wait. When we cant it is always like we have never been part. Lovely quote #candidcuddles
Oh that’s so nice that you’ve got a get together planned! Such a nice thing to look forward to. x
I’m so with you on this one – my best friends live miles and miles away, but when we meet up it’s like we’ve never been apart. x #candidcuddles
It’s a great feeling isn’t it! x
I adore this quote. I have two friends like this. I’m the bad one who moved away to Ireland but when I get to see them it’s like nothing has changed! It’s great you have such a wonderful friend. Thank you for sharing your quote with #candidcuddles x
Oh how could you be the selfish one and move away, haha! So nice that the friendships continue despite the distance isn’t it. x
