i don’t actually know exactly when Ulysse and I became friends, but I have worked out that it would have been in the Spring of 2006. that means we’ve been friends for twenty years.
a few weeks ago, we celebrated our friendship birthday. we had dinner together and spent the evening together and reminisced and talked about the past and our future.
the older i get, the more i value these old friendships. the friendships that are measured in decades. where U’ve known each other for years and years and years, such that your lives are woven together, U share memories not just of moments but whole chapters of your lives
so i think it’s worth celebrating birthdays! not just for people, but for friendships
