We talk once in a while to catch up and I live vicariously through them especially when they go for vacations in Paris or Saint Tropez. Takeaway β whether it be close-up or distance relationships, it takes effort to keep it alive. Kind of like a plant that you have to water frequently and expose it to the right amount of sunlight.
I never really had childhood friends at such a young age because I was not a very playful child. I was focused more on bagging awards in primary school than playing hide and seek. But looking at my high school friendships, I tend to expect friendships to be about mutual support and companionship. Anything that seems lopsided β it starts giving toxic. I am not a very social person, let us start from there lol. I hardly initiate friendships.
But I am very accommodating. Because I know people are from different backgrounds and experiences. And I want people to feel at home with me. But I digress. You people are looking to shake tables with this one. I do believe your partner should be your best friend but mine is not my best friend yet but she will be. I am counting on it. I am sorry I sound like an IT person lol. But yea. Sometimes, some things take time and that is okay.
Friendships are important outside of relationships, how do you pick the people in your circle? I could go on and on about this. Friendships are the lifeblood of healthy living, I believe. Non-toxic friendships so to speak. But in general, anyone who is free-spirited, non-judgmental, and likes to challenge the status quo will pique my interest.
And as long as you are not a serial killer you just might earn a spot. Because I find that I find solace in different friends for different reasons. Having said that, I have a closely knit support system or kitchen table as Michelle Obama calls it surrounded by less than five people. I would rather not mention names because I am diplomatic, Lol. You spend most of your time at work, you probably have a work husband, wife or bestie. You send snaps and share memes!
