Friends are a funny thing, dear reader. Whilst most people do not undervalue friendships, I still find it necessary to discuss their vitality. In the musical Hairspray, one of the songs features a line that reads: "Without love, life is like a beat that you can't follow." When thinking of friendships, I can't help but think of that lyric. I believe the camaraderie and love that stems from friendships is invaluable. Friendships are necessary to happiness. I believe happiness should be a life goal. Ergo, friendships are necessary to fulfill life goals.
So, why bring this up on a muggy evening in June? Well, coming home from college, I have the pleasure of reuniting with many of my friends. I've spent the past few evenings reminiscing - laughing, smiling, and recalling all of those times we were sure we'd be embarrassed of forever. I love the feeling that fills me up after spending an evening with friends. As I'm driving through the lush fields and forest back to my quaint home, I can't help but smile.
Advice of the day? Measure your friends not by sheer quantity, but by the number of smiles they put on your face.
