As we grow and age, don’t forget the people that supported you. A short phone call, text, and email are now right at your fingertips. No more “I see you when I see you”. If you and your friends are busy, schedule an actual friend date. Go to the movies, see a concert, go to lunch, etc. Actually, follow through with your plans and make them concrete.<\/p>\n
2018 was a year where I built and expanded upon the relationship I made in 2017. I met so many beautiful, kind, and inspiring people in my life this year. Many of them brought joy into my life and challenged me in ways I cannot explain. Thank you.<\/p>\n
In this letter to friendship, I leave you with this advice. I believe in the idea that you can curate your life and experiences through the influences you have. The new year is around the corner. Is your life where you want it to be? Don’t just sit there. Friendship is more than just seeing people when something major happens. It’s not just birthdays, New Year, and Christmas parties. Celebrate the day-to-day moments that no one talks about like supporting your friends when they are down, cheering them on, watching them create their business, etc.<\/p>\n
