Peppa and Suzy. Grace and Frankie. Ryan and Sasha and Lisa and Dina. One of the things you’ve likely realized in this past rollercoaster of a year is just how much friendships can buoy spirits and enhance your mental health. No doubt there were some clutch friends that lent their support, whether it was via text or over a tell-all Zoom call, to help get you through a rough patch. So whether you want to let someone know just how much they mean to you, or lend your own supportive boost to a buddy that’s really going through it right now, these poignant, funny, and emotive text messages just might help you get that message across.
Sure, sending a text on International Friendship Day will be well-timed, and for sure appreciated, by the receiver — but you can keep these inspiring quotes in your back pocket to use any day of the week. Because why should your bestie only hear how much you love them one day a year?
