What quality do you value most in a friend?
Some say friendship is built on shared interests. Others say it’s built on time. But I say—it starts with a vibe. That magical unspoken “I get you” connection. If vibes don’t match, even a cup of coffee feels like a thesis discussion. But when they do? You could sit in silence and still feel like you had the best conversation ever.
“A true friend is someone who sees the weird in you and says, ‘Cool, me too!’”
After that initial spark, what keeps a friendship strong? Secrets. Not sharing them, but keeping them. If I tell you something and later see it posted on your status with a “No names mentioned” disclaimer… congratulations, you’re not my friend, you’re a news anchor.
Loyalty comes next—because if you can dance at my wedding, you better hold tissues at my breakdown too. Friendship isn’t just about tagging each other in memes. It’s about showing up when everyone else has logged out.
And then there’s timing. The ones who pop up just when life feels like a burnt toast—that’s real magic. Not always with advice, but with a “Want me to punch life in the face for you?” That’s loyalty in a hoodie.
Friendship, at its core, is being someone’s comfort zone in a chaotic world. It’s a blend of soul connection, unscheduled therapy sessions, and laughs over things no one else finds funny.
Thought to ponder:
Do you choose friends who recharge your spirit—or just the ones who reply fast on WhatsApp?
