50 Times Your Childhood Best Friend Proved She Was Your Ride Or Die

by Candice Jalili

Your relationship with your childhood best friend is one of the strongest and most romantic relationships you will ever have.

Like, forget your boyfriend. THIS bitch is the real love of your life.

She walked into your life when you were the most innocent version of yourself, and she stuck around for your ugly phase. And then your wild phase. And then your boring phase. And then your in-love phase. Oh, and then there was your heartbroken-and-out-of-love-depressed phase.

And of course, there’s whatever phase you're in at the moment.

The point is she is not just a casual fling. Your boyfriend can break up with you when you get to be too much, but she can’t. She’s there for the long haul. Through thick and thin.

Here are all the times this girl has been the definition of ride or die.
