#quotes on friendship

[blvepaints]

whenever something nice or exciting happens to me and i am happy my first impulse is always to share it with my best friends. Like here's a piece of my happiness and if ten-fifteen years down the line if we stop being friends and I no longer text you to tell you about the bunny shaped cloud I saw, I hope you will look back at the trinkets of my memories that I've given you, I hope you'll remember me for the things that had made me happy, including having the opportunity to share it with a lovely person like you.

You're better than everyone else combined."
