We all make choices in our lives. Choice to be there for a show that your friend is hosting while you could be preparing your favourite meal for the day. It is about being there over the call just to listen to her silence when your friend is crying over something that is bothering her. It’s about being there. It’s about asking, “Hey, are you feeling any better?” when you realised your friend has been a little off. It’s about late-night talks and early morning motivation to do better in life. It’s about being sensitive about the things that could hurt the other person. It’s about giving the liberty to make mistakes and at the same time helping her rectify the mistake. It’s about trying to help each other grow and be the best version of themselves. It’s about understanding that we are two different people with different fears and insecurities, and still trying to make space for each other.

It’s about talking passionately about things you love without any judgement. It’s about laughing your heart out over lame jokes. It’s not always about understanding one another in the best way possible but it’s about giving each other utmost respect even if your opinion doesn’t match. It’s appreciation. It’s gratitude. It’s respect. It’s a feeling of thankfulness that you have for each other.

Friendship is about sticking through no matter what. And it’s a choice like any other.
