Is patience, trust, understanding, commitment, loyalty, acceptance, respect; an active verb rather than a noun; a safe harbor, a bedrock foundation, and a warm hearth. It can wax and wane over time like the phases of the moon or the changing tides of the sea. It may not always be a perfectly distributed 50/50 effort—there can be times where one is giving or receiving more than the other—but it’s going to be there as long as both parties choose to stoke the fire ❤️🔥 and I think it starts as simple friendship and grows with more time, familiarity, and mutual effort
