5 Advantages Of Having A Long-Distance Best Friend

Feb 05, 2018

We all have different types of best friends, but sometimes we are lucky enough to have that one person in our life who sticks by us no matter the distance. Life happens and people have to move away for school, a job, or love. But having a best friend who is always there for you despite all the odds is very special. 

Even though you may miss your friend deeply, then are some perks of being long-distance best friends:

It's that time again...your friend booked their trip to come see you for a long weekend and now you have so much to plan! Counting down the days until you're reunited with your bff is definitely one of the more exciting perks of being long-distance, and that time together is always extra special. 

Despite the distance, your best friend is always just a phone call or text away. Modern technology has improved so much that it can sometimes feel like your best friend is right in your living room. Plus, you have someone who you can always send silly emojis and gifs too while you're bored on the train or sitting in a waiting room. 

Ranting to your best friend about an annoying coworker or asking for advice about how best to get along with your partner's friends is awesome because they can give valuable advice. Chances are they have never met (nor will meet) that person, so they can give honest feedback about how to handle the situation. 

Being reunited is great, but visiting where your friend lives is sometimes the best part! You can try all of your friend's favorite restaurants and visit the places they love. You get to experience a slice of their new life, and have fun memories to cherish! 

Being apart for so long but remaining best friends is all the proof you need to know you have a lifelong friendship. Your bond can withstand distance and time, and that's something worth celebrating!
