Celebrating and nurturing your female friendships year-round is always a good idea, but Galentine's Day is an excuse to go above and beyond. So, if you're looking for Instagram captions about friendship to post on Galentine's Day, you've come to the right place. Because the unofficial holiday — which is considered by many to be the anti-Valentine's Day — is all about pouring positive energy into your own friendships and then spreading that positive energy and encouraging others to celebrate their non-romantic friendships, too.

The older we get, the more complicated our friendships become. We are separated by time and space, and as our plates fill with new responsibilities, our friendships become harder to maintain and yet more important to hold onto. Galentine's Day reminds us to check in with everyone, from the friend who seems to always have it together to the strong and independent friend — they all need our love and support, even if they don't show it or ask for it.

Here are 17 captions you and your BFF can use on Instagram for your Galentine's Day post.
