Friendships are the backbone of our existence. Our friends form the rich tapestries of our good days and hold our hands through our worst. They plug the deficits in our lives; giving us a love that may be missing, or simply different, from that of our families and romantic partners. We mark so many occasions in life, but besides the annual reminder of the day you were born, these are largely dominated by our romantic occasions: engagements, weddings, anniversaries. We are somehow a society which celebrates commitment – but only of the amorous variety. So why are we not applauding our friendships, the ones that ground us, uplift and encourage us, in the same way? One writer explores this question at the LINK IN BIO. So tag your besties below, and head on over to read about the importance of celebrating those couldn't-live-without friendships in your life.
