When you find out one of your closest friends is moving abroad it can be the WORST THING EVER. But sometimes absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and you get a different type of friendship, thanks to Whatsapp threads and excellent holidays. Here are things you'll know if you have a long-distance BFF
You are more gushy than you ever would be with your home friends and send each other emotional memes...
You buy matching friendship souvenirs every time you are reunited...
Instead of planning your Saturday night, you get to plan holidays away together. So much more fun than a night at your local Odeon...
You have had many Love Actually-style airport reunions...
You get to cram a year of boy gossip into a day...
You don’t have to deal with any external friend politics...
You go over your data allowance on the constant texting/ whatsapps/ FaceTime calls/ Facebook messages...
**Plus you have the thrill of sending each other things in the post... **
Finding cheap flights is better than any sale...
You are a teeny bit jealous of their home friends, even though you wouldn't admit it ...
Your friendship is built on in jokes from when you were 12...
You have been known to describe each other as sisters, rather than friends...
You have the most emotional goodbyes...
Seriously, emotional...
The kind of sad that requires a day of movies in bed...
** And always at the end of every trip you decide you can't go on with your life and need to move to live with them...**
