Kay so I’m not going to lie to you I stole some of these from a greeting card (don’t judge me)
but I tweaked them and added some things… I honestly feel like these are things all friendships/relationships need…
It’s about laughing at the same things or just at each other
It’s about really being understood and understanding
It’s about never running out of things to talk about, but at the same time being comfortable with sharing silences
It’s about being accepted unconditionally
It’s about being there for each other when you need it
It’s about picking up right where you left off no matter how long you’ve been away from one another
It’s about doing/saying/sharing things that would normally be awkward with anyone else
It’s about doing things just because you want to not because your obligated
It’s about putting up with each other’s shit
It’s about loving the imperfections
It’s about having realistic expectations
It’s about forgiveness
and there is a ton of other stuff that I’m not thinking of I’m sure, but these are just the ones I thought up while reading my letter from kate. These seem kind of like pretty fundamental, no brainer things I guess, but really thinking about them makes me appreciate the relationships I have with my friends. I can think of 10 people off the top of my head that I feel most of these things apply and I’m so grateful to have them all in my life.
