We're lucky to have enough real friends to count on one hand, it's about quality not quantity. How many of us can say we are still friends with our childhood classmates? (I am, but I thinks that's an exception)
Loved this piece. I have many people I would include in my wish for when I am 83. (I don't want to be 85). Family is obvious - but I have friends who I laugh with, some of them since I was 17. Friends from work and hobbies. People I connect with several times a year - because I am prepared to work on the stickiness of my connections. Great thought provoker Adam
Love that, Illana. I think you make a great point about being 'prepared to work' on some relationships. We can get lazy and even comfortable with our own company... but relationships are worth investing into... the rewards can, and usually are, be massive.
