21 Best Friend Instagram Captions To Post On Valentine's Day

by Sarah Fielding

There's no relationship in the universe like one between two best friends. They're the person you call at 3 a.m. when you're having a bad day, they're the ones you text first when you have exciting news, and they're the ones you consider family even if you're not blood-related. Let's be real, that's probably more than most can say their romantic relationships have been like! That's why I propose that this Valentine's Day, even if you have a bae you're looking forward to celebrating with, we should all make an effort to honor our true soulmates, our best friends. One of the easiest ways to do this? Settle on an Instagram caption about your best friend to post on Valentine's Day.

Don't get me wrong: with Valentine's Day coming, up you may have been thinking about romantic love as the only type to celebrate on the day. Or, if you're single, you might be taking it as a day to either celebrate your singledom or swipe through matches on dating apps, depending on how you feel about being single. But Valentine's Day should celebrate any kind of love you have in your life, — including the love between best friends. If you want to use the day to thank the world for bringing them into your life, why shouldn't you?
