It's exactly like that, without all the sex

Friends.

Really the best part of life is holding on to, and making new friends. Everyone is going to go through hard times just like they're going to have moments of unhindered joy. For those times, and everything in between, friends are the canvas that make a painting come to life. Laughing feels better, crying comes easier, and silence sounds better when you're among friends. Like a deposit box that stores those items you don't want exposed to the unpredictable tumult of everyday life, friends are a place to leave pure, unadulterated pieces of yourself that remind you of the best parts of who you can be. They shape you and take shape by you, and they can endure pain, time, and great distance.

Really the best part of life.

An incredibly insightful and sensitive commentary. I read it, and read it again. I then called friends to reinforce the message you gave.
Thank you.
