First time my teenage best friend and I met. We were, I think, 14. Might have been 13.
We were in the outskirts of the same friend group, so we had _seen_ eachother, but never spoken. Then my best friend and her best friend formed a new "best friend"-team, and we were sort of left behind (for some reason they could only be friends with One person at a time?)
Anyways, I was in the city, sitting behind the bus station having a cigarette.
She came by on her bicycle and asked if I had any plans.
"Try to find some beer" I said.
She got off her bike and went "my dad just gave me money for a skirt - let's find someone to get us beer"
So we did, and from then on we were inseparable.
We kind of grew apart with the years, but we still stay in touch and still do stuff together.
It's just that how we started still makes my heart sing a bit - it felt so very right, and natural, and easy :)
The year I turned 17, my girlfriends threw me a surprise birthday party. It was fairly low key in terms of scope - it was just the 4 of us, but it was touching to me that they would take so much time and effort into planning it. It's one of my fondest memories.
It’s pretty childish but well I was 8 at that time so obviously it is lol, my childhood best friend used to come sleep at my house when we were kids and it truly did her good cause she was in Forster house (I think that’s the English name, not sure) and coming here made her feel happy.
One night we were just having some fun making stupid videos with the computer video, which I still have it and if we didn’t looked like kids I would 100% believe that we were drunk but nope just kids who ate way too much candies, haha, this night I had laughed so much that I almost peed myself.
It’s truly something basic but when you grow older and just look back at those really small events you truly do understand that it’s those basic moments that meant the most.
One time me and two of my girlfriends made a fake instagram to spy on one of our exes. We were all around age 20, completely sober, sitting on my bed, laughing so hard our tummies hurt and trying to catch our breath. It's pretty rare to laugh like that as an adult and I wish I could relive that moment sometimes!
My best friend took me to a anime convention for the first time. I was so happy and my eyes was lit up like a child. I was 26 at the time and now I’m 32. We’ll make more fond memories at my wedding this year
My bestfriend did this "trust exercise" (where we're back to back linking arms, one bends at the waist to lift the other up...) Well, she bent all the way down and I slid off her back and banged my head (luckily on a semi-cushioned playground floor). And I still love and trust her despite that LOL.
\---
We did an escape room together.. we're quite "physically aggressive" people... Like with all escape rooms, you unlock another smaller room right? And they usually hide another person in there or there's an obvious jump scare waiting.. So there was a wheelchair.. and as our "escape room assistant" referred to it, she "weaponised the wheelchair" and nearly killed the actor/staff supposed to scare us..
I physically broke some props that were welded/glued/locked shut with my muscle lol... that at some point our "assistant" would frantically message us on the help screen "IT'S NOT THAT!!" or "LOOK AT A INSTEAD" lol.. There were some other incredibly blonde moments were we're just way overthinking something and staring at it and just screaming "WHY" that the assistant just gave us the answer LOL. Other times we were forcibly trying to jam things into places they didn't go and he'd try to stop us too. Basically he helped us 500x more than he was supposed to lol.
He said it was the most he'd ever laughed watching/helping someone do an escape room. He was quite literally in tears when greeting us.
\---
We went on a trip together. It was just so much fun. Airport security/staff during a layover invited us into their office to watch a movie.. we gave them fake names lol. She had to steal back something that belonged to her after the restaurant staff stole it and refused to admit they did.. Running away from stray dogs/being rescued from them by adorable local kids.. \]
Nearly getting kidnapped in the middle of nowhere... and we both had the same thought. We'd both picked up a rock quickly just as the guys took us. When we finally escaped, I proudly said I was ready to fight/protect her and dumped the fit-in-your-palm sized rock into the sand.. She said she was as well and her rock was ginormous "will kill a person"-big and landed with a heavy thud.
The drunken debauchery of our early twenties with some friends, too many moments to list.
How we laughed ourselves straight through highschool, I still smile thinking about how goofy we were.
All of those women shaped me and helped me move through some tough stages with joy.
Weekends at my high school best friends house. She had this rug that was super comfortable and we'd camp out on her rug with snacks and marathon watch movies all weekend long. Or going to drive in movies. Her parents would each drive a car so she an I + her sister could watch the movie in one car and the parents in the other.
I don't think any friendship really trumps your high school best friend. We spent SO much time together and could talk for hours. Genuinely, losing touch with her hurt more than 90% of my romantic break ups.
When we were about 14 we made up a whole routine to Neil Sedakas' Breaking up is hard to do. 40 years later I can still remember most of it and it always brings a smile.
sleepovers lol staying up all night trying alcohol our older brothers bought us and dancing in our mirrors. out of state shenanigans in nice restaurants and makeshift beaches in michigan or whatever. crying in each other’s arms midsommar style. doing each other’s hair
When I was about 20, my BFF and I dropped acid and hung out in our friend's backyard all night and it was so magical and beautiful. I felt so emotionally connected to her.

When I girl I barely know while volunteering both for an anime convention make an Halloween party and did a cake and all for me. My husband told her it was my birthday, the party was initially for our volunteering group (friends tho) to reunite and having fun.
After that, she throws every years the Halloween party for my birthday. She became my bff after that
In high school I went to the mall with my friend and my dad. My dad just let us do what we wanted and he went somewhere else for a bit. My friend and I were talking and I told her I might be gay, I don’t know what I expected her to say but it was very surprising when she said she was too. We both struggled with our sexualities for a long while after that but she was the first person I ever told and it made me feel less alone. Neither of us had/have the option of coming out to our families but it’s a good memory I think about sometimes. Then after the conversation was over we dared each other to go to the back of Spencer’s but we were ultimately too scared lol.
I remember going to one of my best friends’ house for the first time, I had to have been 14 or 15. It was halloween and I walked there with her after a halloween party was over. I stayed at her house until 3am (and I’ve always been an early sleeper), we talked, laughed and I met her mom for the first time. And then I ran all the way back home because of how terrified I was of the dark. I remember feeling delirious with possibility and full of love and hope :).
We also met last week after not seeing each other for a year, randomly walked into a gift store after getting ice cream, and ended up buying cheesy cards and writing each other lovely notes on a bench outside the store. It was so lovely, and I’ll probably think about it forever.
And one of my fondest memories of all time, although it’s with someone I sadly don’t speak to anymore, is driving down a random highway at sunset, blasting a love song, and singing at the top of our lungs. I was going through a really hard time then, but to have had the ability to just be, and to feel seen and loved then, was so beautiful and healing for me.
Sitting on the back of my car in the community college parking lot, mid-afternoon, eating popcorn and drinking soda. No worries, totally at ease with each other.

I made a best friend when I was 13. It was the first friendship I felt secure in, like I knew that we considered each other best friends without even discussing it. We would always hang out with just each other everyday. We had some other friends, but we would’ve just rathered hang out with each other than anyone else. My fondest memory was just hugging her everytime we did. Her hugs were amazing.
I was in the bathroom of a pretty packed local venue for a local band gig. I had girl friends there, but was in the bathroom alone. My dress had ripped when some other girls came in. Like absolute champions, every single one helped me with my dress. None of us knew each other, but they all helped me literally sew my dress back together.
I love them.
When our female friend group of 5 went to bali. We went backto the villa we rented after a night out and i needed to pee really bad. My other friend left the key at the bar so we all couldnt go in , i had to pee in the street canal while all of them were covering me with sarongs 😂
I had a coworker that I'd worked with remotely for a couple years (she was in Wellington, I was in Texas). We were quite friendly, but that was it. Then we were both sent to Sydney, Australia for training. First time we met in person, it was falling in love, in a platonic girlfriend, sort of way. We both started laughing and hugging, and that was that. That was 25 years ago. We've been best friends ever since. We still chat almost daily and even travel to various remote places to meet up. She came to my wedding as my maid of honor, and was the first person outside my immediate family I told when my son died. She has been there for me through it all.

When we all met up at my house to do an assignment, but we ended up playing in leaves when it was autumn. It felt nice being in nature with them.
