National Best Friends Day: Because Therapy is Expensive and They Already Know Your Dr

June 8th is National Best Friends Day, which means it’s time to blow up your bestie’s phone with 97 blurry selfies, inside jokes, and that one meme that perfectly describes your collective chaos.

Let’s be honest—best friends are the human version of emergency snacks. Always there when you’re falling apart, melting down, or just hangry for some validation.

They’ve seen you:

• Cry over people who didn’t deserve a reaction.
• Eat an entire pizza while overanalyzing a text that said “k.”
• Send screenshots, Zoom in, enhance… and solve entire FBI-level mysteries based on a dating profile pic and one blurry photo of his truck.

Best friends aren’t just people. They’re portable safe spaces, walking lie detectors, and your biggest hype squad rolled into one.

Why Best Friends Deserve a Holiday (and Probably a Raise)

Because they:

• Let you vent without interrupting… unless it’s to say, “GIRL. NO.”
• Remind you of your worth when you’re trying to date like a clearance rack.
• Keep your secrets better than your Notes app.
• Say “Let’s burn it down” and “Let’s meditate” in the same conversation.

In short, best friends are like Google Maps for your soul—recalculating your direction every time you spiral.

How to Celebrate (Even if You’re Broke, Tired, or Emotionally Unavailable)

• Send a Voice Memo: Bonus points if it’s chaotic and from the bathroom at work.
• Make a Meme of Your Friendship: Petty captions encouraged.
• Do Literally Nothing Together: Just sit in silence and scroll near each other—peak connection.
• Write Them a List: “10 Reasons Why You’re the Main Character in My Story.”

And if you’re feeling bold: Tag them publicly. Declare your weird love for them online like it’s promposals all over again.

A Quick Note for the Lonely Hearts

If this day stings a little? You’re not alone. Not everyone has that built-in BFF bond right now—and that’s okay. Sometimes the best friend you need most is the one you’re still becoming for yourself.

Take this as a reminder: you’re worthy of connection that feels like safety, laughter, and matching emotional damage.

Final Thought

Celebrate your best friend today. Or reach out to the one you lost touch with. Or better yet… be the kind of friend you wish you had when life got loud.

Because the world is a little less terrifying when someone’s beside you, whispering, “Let’s make bad decisions and eat fries.”
