On friendship

Today I went to dinner with a friend I keep meaning to see but never get around to. This particular friend has known me for nearly ten years. After an evening of laughter, I realized that friendships take work and the meaningful ones deserve to be fought fo, even if life brings you apart once in a while. And while friendships don't replace having one person who would do anything for you, it's lovely to know someone has your back and knows how to make you smile.
