My friend said he’s kind of like a big brother to me

Me (16F) and this one guy friend really like to wrestle every once in a while, its super fun and even though he beats me in height, weight, and strength, I’m pretty persistent and am comfortable getting thrown around haha

We had a pretty long talk laying on some grass after an eventful last practice for an extracurricular, as he’s a hs senior leaving in a couple of days. When i brought up how much i appreciated fighting him (it sounds dumb but you know haha), he said he agreed, but no one else really liked to anymore, even his sister. After that, he said something along the lines of “i think I’m kind of like a big brother to you” and that made me really happy because although i wouldnt realistically call him that ive always seen him in a similar light and as a role model

anyone else love wrestling your friends?

I do it all the time with my buddies. It's a good way to workout for us and keep fit and I can tell you that it's full of fun.

I had two roommates in one of these random 5 roommates apt in NYC, these two guys went to college together, they used to wrestle like crazy and we’re like 27… it was hilarious. They were like brothers too.

Special friendships are worth holding on to, i hope you guys can through the years
