Frienship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold, but its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.Muhammad Ali
What more could I add to this? I wholeheartedly agreed with the guy. In simple terms, making friends doesn’t cost you a thing but the right ones can mean everything

A true friend is the best possession. Benjamin Franklin
FACTS
I believe that God never intended us to be alone, we crave companionship in anyway that we can take it. Some are lucky to have long-lasting relationships or loving over-possessive parents that are just trying… then there’s those like me. We value our friends on the same level of family, there’s nothing we wouldn’t consider doing…

If you’ve been with us for a while now, you’ll know Jay is the optimistic one out of the two.
I do try to have a smile for everyone becuase that simple gesture can change someone’s day! I’ve had strangers stop me to say ‘you should smile more’ – without thinkin about the creep factor, I appreciate it,…

Friendship between women is different than friendship between men.Jane Fonda
An interesting one I know, its why I chose it. I wanted to veer away from the typical ‘best friends are forever’ stuff you see everywhere and found this beauty! I can’t say I disagree with Jane here because we all know girls will go to some extreme limits for their girls, like pretend to be in a couple while in a club…

Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile & who LOVE YOU no matter what.Unknown (QuotesGram)
There! That is proof of what I’ve been going on about these past few weeks! It’s not just me…anyways, take this with you during the week!
Opening up to other people about your chronic illness is challenging because you never know what response you’re going to get.
Some people respond with skepticism and believe you’re being overdramatic when you talk about how severe your illnesses and symptoms are. Most people want to understand and mean well, but simply don’t know how to respond to illness. People often make unhelpful suggestions like “think positively” or “try probiotics” when what we’re looking for is some validation and emotional support. “Sorry, that sounds really hard” is a much better reaction than “you should try yoga,” but we hear the latter more often.
Because dealing with chronic illness is so challenging, we need even more emotional support than the average person. Getting that from friends, relatives, and even mental health professionals is hard because so few people truly understand chronic illness. Oftentimes, our need for emotional support and social connection goes unmet, which adds to the already heavy burden of chronic illness.
You can’t get it back.
Stay real in this all fake era.
Spoilers: So over the last several seasons (wow, we’re already on the 6th season, that’s crazy) I started to notice that there was a sudden change in how Keith treated Shiro after the first couple seasons. Then this season it hit me. Keith and Shiro have always been close. The reason Keith was so surprised to find Shiro in episode one was because Shiro was the one person on the planet that he really trusted, and that person has previously vanished from his life, thought dead. We also know that Keith quit the pilot program, but we never questioned why. Perhaps the reason was because Keith was grieving Shiro’s loss or maybe Keith just slowly lost the motivation to continue without Shiro there.
We glazed over that because Lance comically also wanted to bathe in the glory of saving someone everyone recognized as a hero, but the bottom line is, Keith had a deep friendship with Shiro prior to the series even starting. Then a couple seasons in Keith went through the Blades trial with Shiro was watching, and there was a hint that came up that we the audience didn’t totally understand. Even after Keith pledging to get Shiro back to safety in a harrowing moment at the beginning of the season, there was a moment when their bond expanded. When Keith was going through the deepest torture of the trials, the person he most wanted to see was Shiro–the person he trusted, the only person at that point that he loved. And as the series progressed, that relationship expanded even more. Either as relationship between brothers or a love deeper, we the audience will never really know, but the fact remains, we got to witness something truly beautiful.

Painful life lessons - learning to let close ties get loose, and having the self respect to not always be the one reaching out. Yup yup.
you know that feeling of being utterly content when you’re with your friends. and just feeling how much love you have for them, i love that feeling.
I want to be your home, where you feel safe to love and be loved in return. If you’d like, I think we could be home to each other.
Taking some time to take a Patreon conversation over to YouTube. It’s easy for us to get stuck in friendships because we may have insecurities or fears that lead us to people pleasing, or we have fear of abandonment. Many things may get us stuck in relationships that may no longer serve us. Like most things in life, friendships can have an expiration date. We may have gotten the nutrients out of our friendship that we need, and it may no longer serve us. But we may get stuck in friendships because we’re afraid of what may happen, or how we may appear, if we let them go. This video is all about ending friendships, why friendships end, how to get over an ex friend, how to end a friendship and so much more. Kati Unfiltered is a series that I’m starting to give you an unfiltered lens into my life. My personal stories, my personal challenges, what I’m going through. Although I am a mental health vlogger and mental health podcast host, along with a therapist, I am talking to you as a human. I may have different experiences than you that help me see situations differently, but I am also human. And I wanted to create a series that allows me to be open about my life, my fears, my challenges and also, the good things in my life. So, welcome to my world.

How to write friendships
Well-written relationships between characters are what makes a story beloved. And while writing romance has it’s own difficulties, it’s even more tricky to write good and believable friendships.
What role do friends play in a story?
It depends a bit on if the friendship is between MCs or if the MC is friends with side-characters. The friendship with another MC could be the focus of the story and driving point for the plot. But the friendship with a side-character could help your MC to rant about their problems, to get a second opinion, to get an honest truth, to see a situation from another perspective and to realize that they are not alone in this. They can also be helpful to show your MCs regular life outside of whatever special happens to them in the story and helps to show why your MC is the way they are.
Types of friends
- the best friend
- the friend group
- the situational friend
- the old friend
The best friend - they share almost anything with each other, their opinions matter, able to tell them off if they are wrong, closest thing to a sibling, people know them as a duo
The friend group - in on all the tea, give honest opinions, help out where they can, can have deep, but also very casual scenes
The situational friend - friends because of circumstances (having classes together, being on the same sports team, having mutual friends), are friends when they see each other, don’t really seek each other out outside of that situation, knowing about specific parts of each other’s life, but not other parts and wouldn’t share deep conversations
The old friend - think about childhood friend vs. college friend - the friends have met in completely different parts of each other’s lives, know each other in different ways and probably have a different understanding of each other, the old friend would probably not know everything about their life right now, but they still fall back into old patterns with each other (good and bad)
Give them something in common & some differences
Humans like to flock together with people with similar interests, personalities and lives. So give your fictional friends things they have in common. Sharing the same goal, liking the same things, having compatible personalities, having the same outlook on life,…
But friends are not a carbon copy of each other. Give them some differences that don’t hurt their friendship in the long run, but rather some that can the characters can build off of these differences. Taking advice from a friend who has more experience with something, a friend who sees things a bit different, or becoming more confident because of their friend’s confidence.
More tips
Make sure to give the friends their own life. They are not just there to bounce ideas off with your MC. They should have their own goals and personalities. Make sure they could be their own character without the MC.
To have a friendship that the reader likes and roots for, you have to make sure that the reader can see why they are friends. The quite, nerdy kid is not going to be best friends with the loud, edgy, popular kid without a believable reason. Why would they hang out if they have nothing in common? Having been friends since kindergarten is not enough of a reason to still be best friends in high school if they have nothing to talk about and don’t like to do the same things and if their personalities just don’t match at all.
