this is easily the most important, meaningful and personally significant thing I have read in a very long time:
“The best friends won’t ever be jealous of your success, they will celebrate with you. And your life will be richer for celebrating their victories too. Good friends will gently tell you when you’re being a dickhead, and remind you who you are when you’re getting lost. They’ll fight for you and comfort you and buy you cider and take the piss and drag you through the dark times when you’re ready to give it all up.”– by @girlonthenet@mastodon.social, https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/40-things-ive-learned-by-40/
I wish someone told me this, say, a year ago. maybe I’d have realized some things earlier. maybe I’d have reevaluated my opinion of someone before they had a chance to prove this by counterexample.
I’m so grateful for the friends I have now.
