Today, the best friend I've ever had left for basic training for the Air Force. You know that feeling you get when you start hanging out with someone and you just feel like you've always known them? Like you were separated at birth and could possibly be twins and it's kind of ridiculous? That's me and Maddie. We text like every five minutes of every day, talk on the phone at least two or three times a week, Snapchat compulsively, and tell each other every nitty gritty detail of our lives. It's super unhealthy.
So now that she's leaving, I've texted her all day, talked to her on the phone a couple of times, Snapchatted compulsively....except now she's gone. She won't have her phone for over two months. It hasn't quite hit me yet...but I think it will tomorrow.
The worst part is, even though she'll get her phone back after basic training, she's still going straight from Texas to California for TWO YEARS. And I'm a poor college student...so I won't be able to visit often, and she only gets leave every so often and obviously she needs to see her family. This is the problem with best friends- we can't move around for them like we can significant others, because that's weird. Plus we'd have to pack up our significant others and move them around with us and that would be awkward...
So here it is. The beginning of our long-distance best good friendship. I am confident we are going to be able to keep up our crazily attached relationship through the test of time and mileage...because after all, if any two friends can it's us. So yep. Let the Pen-Pal-Ship commence.
