Five Minute Friday: Friends

Woot! It's Five Minute Friday! Today is when we write for five minutes flat. Don't edit, and don't worry how it reads.

Friends.
and go!

"Just friends" they say. Just friends what? Friendship is plenty strong in my book. You shouldn't have to "just friends" anyone.

I have the best friends. I'm sure a lot of people say that. But it's true. Even the ones I don't talk to all that much, I know they'd drop everything if I needed them. I hope I'd do the same.

There are so many quotes about friendship, and while they're all lovely, none of them capture it just right. Friendship is love, right? I think sometimes friendship is harder than "romantic" love. Not that I would know.

I don't really know what to say about these more concrete topic. But the first things that came to mind were that I really love my friends, and that it drives me nuts when people say they're "just friends" like it's a bad thing. I'd be honored to be "just friends" with you, my dear. That's plenty strong enough for me.

honored.

Friends. I love yous!

  1. That's a great point! I mentioned in my 5-min.Fri. that my hubby is actually my best friend because he's thrown himself in with me 100%....that's what a REAL friend does. There are many ways in which his friendship is more precious to me than the ooshy-squooshy love stuff. So I agree wholeheartedly: "Just Friends" is a dumb thing to sigh over. It is an honor to be a friend!
