Friendship was witnessing another’s slow drop of miseries, and long bouts of bordem, and occasional triumphs. It was feeling honored by the privilege of getting to be present for another person’s most dismal moments, and knowing that you could be dismal around him in return

Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.

And anyway how wad friendship any more codependent than a relationship. Why wasn’t friendship ad good as relationship? Why was it admirable when you were 27 but creepy when you were 37? Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship?

The only trick of friendship, it think, is to find people who are better than you are - not smarter, not cooler, but kinder and more generous, and more forgiving- and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad-or good-is might be. To trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best as well
