Friendships are funny. Some people you swore would be in your life forever slowly turn into “oh hey, they posted a story” moments.
And then there’s that one person who shows up with snacks when you’re crying over something dumb, and suddenly you’re like—yep, this is the real thing.
Not the people who drift, not the ones who only text when they’re bored, but the ones who actually show up.
When Friendship Gets Weird
Everyone has their own way of being a friend, and honestly, it can get confusing.
I used to have a friend who planned every detail of our hangouts—reservations, times, backup plans.
At first, I thought it was over the top, but then I realized it was her way of saying, “You’re important enough for me to schedule my life around.”
On the other end of the spectrum, there are the spontaneous friends—the ones who show up late or cancel sometimes, but when they actually make it, it’s the best night of your life.
And yeah, sometimes I’m that person too.
That’s when it hit me: there isn’t one perfect “friend type.” It’s more about who balances out your quirks and makes the connection feel easy.
The Besties Who Change Everything
Every close friend I’ve had has pulled out a different side of me.
The hype one who made me feel unstoppable, always shouting “you got this” louder than my doubts.
The comforting one who sat with me through ugly cries and didn’t make it awkward.
The chaotic one who laughed so hard with me in a grocery store aisle that we had strangers staring.
But the same things that make them amazing can also drive you crazy—the hype can be exhausting, the comfort can feel clingy, the chaos can get unreliable.
That’s just how it goes. The magic of a bestie isn’t about being flawless; it’s about how your messy and their messy somehow make sense together.
So now I’ve got to ask—if your ultimate bestie was written in the stars, which zodiac sign would they be?
