IF THERE’S one thing in life which a girl needs an abundance of it’s best friends.
Well, best friends and shoes.
When the going gets tough, the tough need somewhere to go to talk about their problems for the 100th time – preferably with a tub of ice cream and chocolate.
So I guess we can add ice cream and chocolate to the list of things girls need an abundance of.
As a self-proclaimed ‘bestie’ hog, I am here to tell you that it pays for a girl to have more than one person to turn to, particularly when the things you need to turn for are vastly different.
Firstly you need a long-time friend because who are you going to tell when you see your ex-boyfriend at the store, with a beer gut?
No one else is really going to have the same reaction than the person who can remember when said ex-boyfriend had a six pack and you on his arm.
Then there’s the guy best friend.
Sure not everyone has one, but they can definitely come in handy.
Guys can make some of the best wingmen around and when he’s done his job snagging the perfect guy, he can give you tips on whether the perfect guy is really into you or not.
Who can forget the best friends who help you through Monday morning meetings by getting you a coffee, or the ones who not only feel like family, but actually are?
Or the best friend from university who you don’t see as much as the other ones but tend to have too much, cheap wine when you do get together.
After all old habits die hard?
You can have someone to cover every base, every personal emergency and every event which you need someone to go with.
But all of them have one thing in common; they all understand and are understood by you.
