15 Funny quotes on friendship that’ll raise a smile

03/04/2025 by

If you’re lucky enough to have one good friend, then you are richer than you imagine, and if you have two then you’re truly blessed.

Friendship is a relationship of equals.

Real friends are people with whom you have a lot in common, especially when it comes to things that make you laugh and those times when you enjoy getting silly.

True friends are people who know all your faults but accept you as you are anyway.

Not everyone with whom you have a friendly relationship is a true friend. Some people are just very good acquaintances.

A real friend is someone you could phone at 3 am when you’re in trouble and know they’d be out to help you in a heartbeat.

Such people are worth their weight in gold, and you should never take them for granted. They’re special, and you should appreciate them being in your life because not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 15 funny quotes on friendship that, for me, touch on the very essence of what it all means.

Funny quotes on friendship:

  1. Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life!
  2. Friends buy you food. Best friends eat your food.
  3. Friends come and go, but enemies hang around like a bad smell.
  4. When our phones fall, we panic. When our friends fall, we laugh.
  5. If you have crazy friends you have everything you’ll ever need.
  6. Never let your best friends get lonely. Keep disturbing them.
  7. You have a problem when your imaginary friend thinks he has a problem.
  8. There’s nothing better than a good friend, except for a good friend with chocolate.
  9. Friends come and go, like waves on the ocean, but true friends stay like an octopus on your face.
  10. A best friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find, but you’re lucky if you have one.
  11. Laughing is one of the best exercises. It’s like running inside your mind. You can do it almost anywhere and it’s even better with a friend.
  12. I’d walk through fire for my best friend. Well, not fire because that’s dangerous, but a super humid room. Well not too humid, because you know, my hair.
  13. I love making friends. I usually prefer to make them out of plaster and give them funny-looking hats.
  14. Dear Diamond, we all know who is really a girl’s best friend. Sincerely yours, Chocolate Cake.
  15. I hope we’re good friends until we die, then I hope we can stay ghost friends, walk through walls and scare people.

How to find your tribe and build powerful connections

03/01/2025 by

If you’re wondering how to find your tribe, this article is for you.

Finding your tribe means connecting with people who share your interests and values. It’s about building a community where you feel accepted and understood.

The right tribe can boost your happiness, provide support, and help you grow as a person.

This is especially important in today’s world, where many people feel isolated or disconnected.

Looking for your tribe takes time and effort.

It may involve trying new activities, joining groups, or exploring online communities.

The key is to be open, authentic, and willing to put yourself out there.

When you find the right group of people, you’ll know it because it will just feel right.

Discovering your values and interests

Finding your tribe starts with understanding yourself. Knowing your values and interests helps you connect with like-minded people who share similar passions and ideals.

Know yourself

Self-reflection is key to discovering personal values and interests.

Take time to think about what matters most to you.

What activities bring you joy?

What causes do you care about?

Make a list of your top qualities and ideals.

Consider trying meditation to gain clarity on your thoughts and feelings.

Journaling can also help uncover hidden passions and values.

Be honest with yourself. Embrace your authentic self, quirks and all. This will help you find people who appreciate the real you.

Try new things and embrace diverse experiences

Exploring new activities can reveal unknown interests.

Sign up for classes or join clubs to learn new skills.

Try hiking, painting, cooking, or mixed martial arts. It doesn’t matter what it is. If it has some appeal to you, you might discover a hidden talent.

Attend local events and meetups to connect with people who share your interests.

Volunteer for causes you care about. This can lead to meaningful connections with others who have similar values.

Stay open-minded when trying new things.

You might surprise yourself by enjoying something unexpected. The more experiences you have, the better you’ll understand what truly matters to you.

Building and nurturing your tribe

Finding your tribe is just the first step. Building strong connections and nurturing those relationships takes effort and care. These steps can help create a supportive network that lasts.

Fostering connections online and offline

Social media platforms like Facebook and NextDoor offer ways to connect with like-minded people.

Join online groups that match your interests. Participate in discussions and share helpful information.

However, don’t limit yourself to the online world. That would be a mistake.

Attend local events and meetups to interact face-to-face. Volunteer for causes you care about. This can lead to meaningful friendships with people who share your values.

Look for mentoring opportunities.

Being a mentor or finding one can create deep bonds.

Coaches and support groups also provide chances to connect with others facing similar challenges.

Creating meaningful relationships through communication and respect

Open and honest communication forms the base of strong relationships.

Share your thoughts and feelings with your tribe.

Listen actively when others speak.

Show respect for different opinions.

Acknowledge that everyone has unique experiences and viewpoints.

This creates an environment where people feel safe to be themselves.

Above all, be reliable and keep your promises. Trust is key to building lasting connections.

Make time for your relationships. Regular check-ins, even brief ones, help maintain bonds.

Support and resilience in your social circle

A strong tribe offers support during tough times.

Whether facing health issues, job loss, or personal struggles, your network can provide emotional backing and practical help.

Build resilience together. Share coping strategies for dealing with stress and setbacks.

Celebrate each other’s successes, big and small.

This creates a positive atmosphere that lifts everyone.

Remember that support goes both ways.

Be there for your tribe members when they need you.

Offer a listening ear or a helping hand. This mutual care strengthens your connections and creates a sense of belonging.

Valuable asset

Finding a tribe that’s right for you can be your most valuable asset.

Human beings are social animals; we need other people.

And we need to feel like we fit in.

Here’s a poem about finding your tribe.

1 word salad in a poem: An attempt to be positive

11/30/2024 by

If the 2024 United States presidential election gave us anything, it gave us the idea of a word salad.

If you follow politics, you’ve probably noticed how politicians can talk for several minutes and say nothing significant. They respond to questions, but they never answer them. Instead, you get a word salad of platitudes and meaningless guff. And they wonder why the public no longer takes them seriously.

This year’s elections in Britain and the United States provided no end of examples of this phenomenon. So much so that I was moved to write today’s poem.

If you like it, please feel free to share it.

Another Christmas poem that will make you think

11/27/2024 by

If you’re looking for a Christmas poem, I’ve written one to make you think.

As the end of November approaches here in London, the Christmas season is getting into full swing. Young children dream about their ideal gifts, and hard-pressed parents do their best to fulfil those dreams within the limits of their income.

It’s a wonderful time of year, especially if you’re lucky enough to have young children or grandchildren.

However, there’s another side to Christmas, and it’s often overlooked. Not everyone’s having a great time, and family tensions can often explode when too much alcohol has been consumed.

And, in the modern age, many people live alone. At Christmas, that can be depressing. Such people are easily forgotten, and, for them, that can make them feel very lonely. This is particularly true for the elderly.

So, my message today is, if you’re celebrating Christmas, be kind, be considerate, and let sleeping dogs lie. Old grievances don’t matter anymore. If they’re in the past, leave them there.

As suggested above, I recorded my thoughts on this in the form of a poem that I share with you today.

If you like it, please share it on social media.

Christmas Poem: Making memories that will last

12/06/2023 by

Christmas PoemToday, I offer you a Christmas poem.

For those who celebrate it, Christmas is a very special time of the year. Not just Christmas Day, but the whole of December is taken up with preparing for the big day and spending time with family and friends.

It is particularly magical if you have young children. They look forward to it, they enjoy all the preparations, and they spend endless hours deciding what they’d like from Santa Claus.

And come Christmas Eve, they are bursting with excitement and anticipation and can barely close their eyes to sleep.

One year, we were away for Christmas, staying with my parents in another city. My son was most concerned about this situation because he thought Santa wouldn’t know where he was and, therefore, he’d miss out on his Christmas gifts.

Well, Santa doesn’t work that way. Young Philip had been good all year, so Santa made sure he found him.

And in the early hours of Christmas morning, a happy little boy was keen to reassure his parents that he’d not been forgotten.

Today’s Christmas poem remembers that Christmas long ago. It’s how the memories we cherish are made.

3 philosophical poems to get you thinking

12/05/2023 by

PHILOSOPHICAL POEMSToday I thought I’d share three original poems I wrote recently.

Both are original, and both reflect how I see the world.

Enjoy them, and please feel free to share them.

In particular, if you could share them on Pinterest for me, that would be helpful.

Philosophical Poems:

1. Opportunity Poem:

Life is tough, and it’s easy to believe that there’s no hope. It’s easy to think that your life can’t get better.

However, in life, there will always be an endless stream of opportunities.

People will always have problems, and providing solutions to those problems can be a great way to make money.

So, instead of accepting your lot in life, seize the day and create the life you want.

Here is my philosophy neatly summarized in a poem.

OPPORTUNITY POEM

2. Another Opportunity Poem:

If other people can seize opportunities, so can you. Yes, it’s not easy. However, it can be done, and people do. So can you!

Another Opportunity Poem

3. Judgement Poem

None of us can know the personal battles others are fighting. So never be too quick to judge.

Unless you’ve walked two miles in someone’s shoes, give them the benefit of the doubt.

Offer your support, not your judgment.

Again, here is my philosophy neatly summarized in a poem.

JUDGEMENT POEM

Does voting make a difference?

11/22/2023 by

DOES VOTING MAKE A DIFFERENCE?Democracy is a fine thing, or so they say. However, does voting make a difference? I mean, a real difference.

I guess the supplementary question is: What do we mean by difference?

For me, making a difference would mean making life better for the majority of people, particularly ordinary working people.

Well, on that definition, in my experience, rarely does voting make any real difference at all.

The rich always seem to do well, but ordinary people just struggle. And that struggle appears to be getting harder, particularly for young people.

The State of Politics:

The current state of politics is not impressive. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Ideas currently being promoted appear to be insane. Certainly, they have nothing to do with improving the lives of the majority.

It seems most politicians are focused on further improving the lives of the wealthy few at the expense of ordinary people.

The Puppet Masters:

And there’s another question that crosses my mind frequently these days. Who is actually in charge?

Is it the elected government, or are there individuals behind the scenes who make the real decisions? I mean, individuals who control and manipulate politicians and events.

Judging by the evidence before us in recent years, you would have to believe there are puppet masters who really pull the strings.

Voting Poems:

So, dear reader, what do you think? Am I wrong?

Well, while you consider that question, here are two original poems that sum up my current view of politics and the voting system.

1. Voting:

Does voting make a difference?

2. The Puppet Masters:
