Wonderful and thoughtful. Thank you for giving friendship its due respect. I’ve been fortunate to have many long-time, loyal friends. But then again, there are those “friends” who also have the ability to hurt and treat a very sacred relationship poorly and thoughtlessly. It’s complicated, isn’t it?

Wonderful. By the way, I’m an academic who’s been researching and publishing on friendship for about a decade. You can find some of my reflections on here under @Amitology. Will read, avidly!

Love this and can't wait to hear more !! Feel like I've maintained a (sometimes) rigid idea of what friendship can/should be, working on undo-ing that idea.

I am so passionate about my friendships - even created my own blog that featured one friend in each published post, a brief but exciting project I worked on for a bit. Will happily be reading more of your content!
