It hits you how much trust there is between you and your best friend, and just how comfortable you are around each other.
Like... I got on the bus today carrying a massive art folio for school, full of all my developmental scribbles and stuff, and my friend sees it and screeches “Ooooh Gimmie!” and I just. hand it over. my art folio. which I have spent hours on and am constantly worrying about damaging. that art folio which my parents like to go through and every time I have a pang of ‘oh yikes. what if it’s not good enough? what if they think it’s bad?’ even though I know they’re my parents and will love me regardless. just hand it over to my best friend to rifle through with not an anxious thought in sight.
Because, I realised then, that I trust this person (probably not the best idea, considering all the pranks she likes to pull, but anyway...), and I am comfortable around them, enough so that something like casually handing over an art folio feels completely natural with them. And I like that about friendship.
So yeah... just some random thoughts. :)
Happy International Friendship Day everyone!
