I miss my best friend!!

2025/10/11 Edited to

... Read moreIt's true, long distance really does suck sometimes! There are days when I just ache to see my best friend, to grab a coffee, or just vent about my day face-to-face. That feeling of 'I miss my best friend' hits hard, especially when you realize they're literally over 1200 miles away, making spontaneous meetups almost impossible. I know I'm not the only one who's asked, 'Are you okay?' to myself, only to answer, 'No, I miss my best friend.' It's not just the big events you miss out on, but all the small, everyday moments that make a friendship so special. When you're separated by such a significant distance, like the 18-hour drive I saw on Google Maps, it can feel like a huge challenge to keep that connection alive. You see photos of them having fun, and while you're genuinely happy, a tiny part of you just wishes you could be there. The 'Can you visit?' question often gets the sad reply, 'Not often,' and it's just a reality we have to face. But here's the thing: true best friendships are worth fighting for, no matter the miles. Over time, I've learned a few ways to bridge the gap and keep our bond as strong as ever. First, regular video calls are a lifesaver. It’s not the same as being there, but seeing their face, hearing their laugh – it makes a huge difference. We try to schedule a weekly 'date' so it becomes a consistent part of our routines. Another thing that's helped is finding shared activities we can do remotely. Maybe it's watching the same show or movie simultaneously and texting about it, or even playing online games together. Sending little surprises, like a handwritten card or a small gift just because, can also brighten their day and remind them you're thinking of them. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a thoughtful gesture. We also make sure to plan visits, even if they're infrequent. Knowing there's a trip on the horizon, whether I'm traveling to them or they're coming to me, gives us both something exciting to look forward to. It's those precious moments of being together again, like when we're holding drinks indoors and just laughing, that remind you why your friendship is so irreplaceable, even after all the distance. It's a constant effort, and some days are harder than others, but remembering the strength of our bond makes it all worth it. If you're out there missing your bestie, just know you're not alone in feeling that way. Keep finding creative ways to connect, cherish those memories, and know that a true best friend is always close to your heart, no matter how many miles separate you.

Things I Miss That Aren’t People 🥹🌅
Some memories don’t feel like memories. They feel like places. Summer break. Christmas magic. Calling your best friend to see if they could come outside. The excitement of Blockbuster on a Friday night. The feeling of having absolutely nowhere to be. I don’t necessarily want to go back

I lost my best friend, my heart, my everything. I have nothing but beautiful memories with you. You always joked around even til your last moments. If anyone knows me, they know I also raved about how funny my granny is and how much you mean to me. You’re literally the strongest person I know. You
