Friends are the family you choose. ~Jess C. Scott
Dear reader, were you a fan of that wonderful American, television sitcom Friends? Wouldn’t it have been great to share their company and all the fun they had in Central Perk?
For me that show highlighted the important role that our friends play in our lives.
It is a fact that we don’t get to choose our family but the good news is that we do get to choose our friends.
Friendship is a relationship of equals. A good friendship has a power dynamic that’s always in equilibrium.
Friends are the people whose company we enjoy; people with whom we feel a real sense of connection and with whom we share common interests. They are also people we’d be willing to go out of our way to help if we thought they were in trouble.
Family and loyalty go together of course. You can’t really have one without the other. And a relative can be a friend too, of course. As were Ross and Monica in Friends, for instance.
However just because you’re related to someone doesn’t mean you’ll like them or that they’ll like you. Being related is no guarantee you’ll enjoy their company.
Friends are different; friends are special.
If you have a small number of really close friends then you’re very lucky indeed.
Appreciate your friends because they’re the people that make life worth living. They’re the people that add a sparkle to a life that could otherwise be quite dull.
