The elasticity of friendship

Think of the friends who were there for you this year—maybe not in person, but in an encouraging text, a call of support, or even just a constant GIF swap on Instagram. Pretty incredible how friendships adapt. 

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the 

art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to 

let go and allow people to hurl themselves into 

their own destiny. And a time to prepare to 

pick up the pieces when it's all over.”

 

- Gloria Naylor, in her debut 1983 novel, 
The Women of Brewster Place

Investing in Friends

Research has shown that friendships can create a powerful pain-killing effect so strong it beats even morphine. 

 

💌

Resiliency and Friendship

We show resilience in our friendships by being there, even when—especially when—times are toughest. 
(Even if “there” is on Zoom.)

“As a friend, you show resilience by walking through it with her.”
