friends you grow up with

friends you grew up with are, in my opinion, the best of the lot. 

i’m talking about the ones with whom you went through “teenage angst, crushes, peer pressure, bitching, cliques, love, heartbreak, juvenile drama, etc” with.

it just amuses me to look back on how our friendships have grown.

from having chats about things we thought were the be all and end all of our lives - things we know see as childish. to the things we discuss now - conundrums that will shape the rest of our lives. 

and the best thing? these friends are not the ones you have to see and chat with everyday. they’re not the “high maintenance” friends. these are the ones you can count on to be there whenever you need them.

and they’ll come without being asked to.
