Friends make life SO much better!
I honestly don’t know what I would do without my best friends. They are some of the people that truly accept me for me and that I know no matter the distance or time spent apart, I can always count on to cheer for me.
Friends enrich our lives because they let us be authentically who we are and they embrace the weird, ugly and beautiful parts of ourselves. Not only that, they push us to be better and to grow in every area of our lives (yes, sometimes through brutal honesty that can make us cringe but that we def needed to hear!)
They are a true blessing to have in one’s life.
So in honor of all the amazingly awesome friends out there (including mine!), here are 40 timeless friendship quotes to celebrate the beauty of friendship. Share them with your besties and make their hearts melt a little!
