20 hermosas señales de que has encontrado una verdadera amistad alma gemela

Amistad de almas gemelas. Puede que hayas oído hablar de ella, puede que no, pero si has tenido la suerte de encontrar a tu amiga alma gemela, ya sabes exactamente what I’m talking about.

¿Conoces a ese amigo con el que congenias desde la primera vez que lo ves? ¿Con el que tienes un montón de chistes internos?

El que dice Te quiero al colgar el teléfono? Esa es tu alma gemela en la amistad.

Guess what? Romantic soulmates aren’t the only kind. You can find a persona para siempre en una amistad también (gracias a Dios por las mejores amigas).

Your romantic partner is your companion through life but who’s going to hold you up if they break your heart?

Here’s the ugly truth. Life partners come and go and your family members can disappoint you but tu mejor amigo estará a tu lado, asegurándose de que no te sientas solo ni un segundo.

To me, that’s love. If you’re lucky enough to have encountered such a person and forged a bond that you genuinely believe can survive anything, you’re going to enjoy reading this.

Not that you need confirmation that your friendship is real but as you’re gleefully screaming to yourself, “OMG, that’s totally me and mi mejor amiga!” you’ll realize that you’ll always have someone in your corner.

Pasas más tiempo con ellos que con tus familiares

Sólo hay amigos y luego hay amigos que son como de la familia. And ever since you can remember, that’s what it’s felt like with your friend.

You love your family of course but they can get on your last nerve sometimes. And with your best friend, it’s a whole other story.

Podéis estar juntos todo el día and still, miss them when they’re gone.

¿Qué es una amistad de almas gemelas? Eso mismo.

Tienes MUCHOS chistes internos que te hacen reír a diario.

You share so many memes and GIFs with each other that you’ve managed to make a private joke out of so many of them.

You can just look at your friend and burst out laughing because you know that they’re thinking the exact same thing.

Puedes comunicarte sólo con la mirada

Have I mentioned that you barely need words to communicate? When it comes to a soulmate friendship, words are very unnecessary. You look at each other and instantly know what’s up.

You’ve seen each other at your worst and both stayed

You’ve shared many mental salud crisis y nunca imaginé irme de su lado. Cuando lloran, tú lloras. Cuando tienen el corazón roto, te duele por ellos.

That’s what BFFs are for. Being there to hold you up when you’re too ashamed to ask for help. They’re siempre allí.

When you’re sad, your bestie makes it their job to cheer you up

Whenever I’m feeling down or if I’m simply being too hard on myself, my girl never lets me stay that way for too long.

She knows what to do and what to say that it’s virtually impossible to stay sad. Soulmate friendships are so special, man.

You’d rather stay in with your BFF and do nothing than go out and party

Ver Netflix, recitar referencias de la cultura pop, hacerse selfies y poner música a todo volumen parece un plan mejor que básicamente cualquier otra cosa que tus otros amigos hayan planeado.

If you’re together, you can have fun anywhere, doing cualquier cosa. This might sound like a cliché but it’s God’s honest truth.

You’ve unintentionally coordinated outfits on many occasions

Don’t even get me started on this. You have shown up in the same cute outfit to a night out or to brunch more times than you can count! And you weren’t even that surprised.

That’s what best friend telepathy is all about. You read each other like an open book and basically think almost exactly alike.

Sus padres te tratan como a su propio hijo (y viceversa)

Cuando lo piensas, todos sus seres queridos treat you like one of their own. And you truly feel like you’re home around them.

It’s so comforting knowing that you’re always more than welcome to go by, knowing you’d be treated like part of the fam.

You’re comfortable discussing things you’d NEVER utter to someone else

You’ve discussed the dirtiest details of your long-term relationship and never felt an ounce of shame.

Les cuentas cosas asquerosas que a otros les asustarían, pero lo cierto es que a ellos les parece tan normal.

Llegados a este punto, lo único raro sería que didn’t discutirlo.

When you two join forces, there’s not a problem you can’t solve

If one of you has an issue, the other one’s there to join forces and help you work it out.

Might I add, you’re quite the dream team. So far, there’s not an issue you haven’t solved with your BFF by your side.

You keep all of each other’s secrets

Sabes que tu mejor amiga se los lleva a la tumba y viceversa. Ella es tu guardiana de secretos número uno de por vida.

Desea sinceramente lo mejor para ellos en todos los ámbitos de la vida.

There’s no one you want to succeed in life more than them. You root for them in every way and encourage them to make their dreams come true no matter what.

Then once they finally accomplish their lifelong goals, there’s not a happier camper out there than you.

You’ve never felt the need to lie to each other about anything

Ever since high-school or college, from being school friends or sorority sisters to partners in crime through life’s adventures, you’ve always kept it real with each other.

You can’t imagine telling them even a white lie. You love them way too much and you know they feel the same way.

Tu mejor amiga es la persona a la que recurres para todo

¿Necesita una fecha para una boda? Compruébalo. ¿Necesita desesperadamente un consejo romántico? Compruébalo. ¿Necesita una coartada para una noche concreta? Compruébalo.

It’s not even in question. They’re your constant, your go-to and your life guru. Talk about a soulmate friendship!

Even when you’re physically separated, there’s never anyone closer to you

Even if you’re traveling from as far as New York to Los Angeles, or further, that has never made you feel like they’re not always there.

You’re basically on the phone constantly and thanks to FaceTime, you see them all the time. Distance has nothing on you.

Sabes que tu mejor amiga está siempre a una llamada de distancia

Whatever you’re going through, you can just call them up and know they’ll always answer.

When it comes to you, they never screen, even if it’s the middle of the night. That’s what besties are for.

You tell each other, “I love you,” on a regular basis

Fomentan el amor propio y nunca dejan de decirte te quiero.

Your every phone call ends on that note and even if they never said it again, you’d always know that the love is very much real.

You finish each other’s sentences

Again, this might sound like such a clichéd thing to say but you know each other so well that you finish each other’s sentences half the time.

It’s like two people sharing one brain!

Your bestie can ALWAYS tell when there’s something wrong

That’s some telepatía de la llama gemela right there. When it comes to you, they’re a total empath.

Nothing gets by them. You can try your hardest pretending you’re okay but they always see through you. And God knows you’re grateful for that.

A veces, necesitas a alguien sin tener que explicárselo.

Cuando ocurre algo (bueno o malo), son tu primera llamada

Cuando te asciendan, adoptes un nuevo perro, te pidan matrimonio, encuentres la falda más bonita o te rompan el corazón, ellos serán tu primera llamada.

You need to talk it out with them because they’ll make you feel better or they’ll be happy for you in an instant.

If it’s good news, they’ll arrive with champagne and if it’s bad, it’s Ben & Jerry’s all the way.
