"Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world" - William James
I wholeheartedly agree with him and, during this year in which I had more time to work on my non-romantic relationships, I understood why I cherish my friends so much, and what we do to keep one another strong. I now understand how they provided me with an incredible environment for me to pursue my dreams, and am greatly thankful for all that, having dealt with some of the prejudice there was revolving this issue.
So, what did the lot of you learn this year? Share your experiences! |
Fits 100% to me and in a very, very literal sense. Moved to NYC and realized that the greatest, most exciting place on earth won't be worth anything if you have no close friends to enjoy it with (I have made some really goods ones recently, though). It really is like standing in front of a giant, delicious buffet but having no hands to reach for the treasures! Or some other failed metaphor like that.Anyway, great quote, important lesson, and to a happy, equally educating new year!
