friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Friendships
After I was married I didn’t think my friendships would change. I thought I would still be close to my friends, I wasn’t prepared for what came next.

Friendships
The first school you go to as a kid is usually where you meet your first group of friends, you have fun, scream, shout, make memories and you make a best friend, like I said, usually.

Opinion: Are Online Gaming Friends Really Friends?
You spend days, weeks, months, and even years with them. You'll frequently talk to them on the phone, through a text, through social media, or even the messenger portion of your gaming app. Social applications such as Ventrilo and Discord have made it easier if you didn't feel like answering a phone call. You'll often see party invites, game invites, or even the occasional gift on Steam from them offering you a chance to play a game they've sent you.

Going...Going...Gone...
We said friends till the end. We said nothing will tear us apart. We went through everything together, the good times, the bad times, I don't even know where to start. We lived together for three years, dealing with every guy that went in and out of each other's lives. You helped me through two bad breakups, I helped you with the assholes, our friendship always thrived.

Once Upon a Friendship
We were all friends once upon a time. We played a game somewhat like kick ball, and we were the scrappy kids, which meant we looked out for each other. My first friend (let's call him Mudpie) went way back with me. He introduced me to beer, head lice, ultimate fighting strategies, and though neither of us would never admit to a word of it, we figured someday we'd get married and live happily ever after. Mudpie was my first real friend ever, and at around nine years old, we were highly known to be wandering around his small town about fifteen minutes from my house, drunk and stirring up whatever trouble we could find. Mudpie can be returned to later though.

Chess and Old Men
It was an afternoon late in August when Mia first saw him, counting her steps in even numbers as she walked. “Two, four, six, eight, ten…” Heat was bouncing off the roads and pirouetting off in the air. Instead of taking her usual way home, she decided to walk through the square and see if the leaves had turned. Counting, “eighteen, twenty, twenty-two,” under her breath she looked around at the benches which were scattered about. There was a bench supporting a young mom, her baby in a car seat and her eyes glued to a phone. There was a bench that held a teenage boy, slouching and smoking a cigarette. Mia coughed and walked on.

Be The Guy Who Makes The Plans
The reason doesn’t matter. Thin, inane, made up, that’s not the point. Getting dudes together for a night, a weekend of beer, movie quotes, brobonding. That’s the point, the goal, should be yours, anyway. You can name it what you will. Anniversary Of The Crash Weekend. Mega Men’s Night. Bachelor Party Deus. It’s Been Too Long Hour. No matter how you get them there, the ends justify the means, a few times over. And while people aren’t lazy, per se, they are caught up. This means your job as the ringleader is a pain. You will harangue and repeat, even to your best of friends. You will send at least five emails with proposed dates and beg people to Venmo you back for all the cash you laid out buying the weed, mushrooms, alcohol, burgers, salad stuff, right?

The Struggle of Friends
Are you real? Do you often feel like no one knows the real you? Are you afraid that releasing what you truly believe and feel day to day will keep you from having long term even life long friends?

The Day a McDonald’s Became London’s Most Famous Attraction
I was taking some time off to decide what to do next in life and stayed with a friend for a couple of days in London. She was sharing a house with other young people who were trying to conquer the city and have a better life.

I Almost Lost My Best Friend
Dear best friend, We met years ago in the hell we called school. I was the outcast. The loner. The weirdo. And you... you were the pretty one, the one every guy and girl loved. You were the popular one with all the friends. And we were total opposites. I could have never imagined that one day we would be the best of friends and doing everything together. You said hi first. And that was it. That's all it took. A simple "hi"... That's what started it all. It was all up hill from there. We were inseparable. I practically lived at your house. We did everything together. And we never got tired of each other. We could sit for hours just watching TV not saying a word to each other and that was okay, because we enjoyed each other's company. We went through so much together — from boyfriends, heartbreaks, moves and so much more. We were so crazy back then. I still sit and think about those days. I would get detention, so you would too, just so I didn't have to sit alone. You would call in sick... so would I... Everyone was so jealous of the Friendship we had it was perfect... was.

The Meaning Of Friendship
What is the definition of a friend? Is it someone who will talk to you when you're feeling sad and make you feel better? Is it someone who is always there for you when you need them? Is it someone you would trust with your life? Is it someone who you want to spend all of your free time with? Is it someone that you feel comfortable with and you can be yourself?
