My two closest/best friends (I spend a great deal of time with my bf but I would not call him my best friend, he's my partner which to me encompasses the friendship + love, etc.) are both people that have been with me through all sorts of things and vice versa. I feel like I can trust both of them 100%. I can't say that about very many people, I'm not really that open to people.

One, we met in junior high school and stayed in touch over the last 20 or so odd years. We have both lived in multiple states, but ended up back in the same place, we were roommates for a while. No matter how much time passes we pick up as though no time has passed. I know I can text her in a time of crisis and she will text me back asap, even if we haven't hung out in a month or two. We are both pretty busy so a month can go by quickly without seeing each other much, sadly.

My other best friend is an ex. We were friends before we dated so it made sense to stay close after we dated. Luckily my bf is not threatened by the friendship. With her it's more like we just "get" each other. She was close to me during one of the worst times in my life, and still cared about me and I think she is probably the one person that truly knows all the deep dark corners of my mind and still cares. She's also lived in several states but now she's 3-1/2 hours a way so we see each other a few times per year.
