companionship ;one of the most exquisite the cosmos

Our friends can be the people that keep you afloat. They can be our entire world; they are people that help you stay on your feet even when you feel like you are collapsing. They would never show hesitation to act like maniacs with you in front of random strangers, peppering your life with the most absurd yet cherished memories. All of this is gift-wrapped and handed to you on a silver platter when you’re with the right people. Having your perfect friend group gives you a new home, someplace where you can always be yourself.

              The International Day of Friendship was founded in 2011 by the UN General Assembly whos main ideologies were that friendship was something to be acclaimed and shared between countries, cultures and individuals. It is celebrated on the 30th July every year and is said to be a day which places emphasis on the young people of the world like yourselves who could one day be our future leaders and presidents, for example. It is a day to be celebrated with the likes of activities being present to contribute to the idea of community within civilizations and to repair misunderstandings and have reconciliations.

One of the most devastating losses a person can go through is the loss of a once close friend. The notion of ‘best friends’ implies a lifelong bond with someone who knows your deepest secrets and dreams. Lovers come and go, but friends are supposed to be ‘forever’. The concept of ‘forever’ can be dogged by the same circumstances that end other types of relationships, whether it be an explosive fallout or a mutual, peaceful drift apart. Regardless, the end result is the same- the loss of someone once close to you. Experts compare the ending of a friendship as more devastating than the breaking up of a couple.
