i think my deeper friendships have in common some kind of shared life event (not necessarily a bad one) that makes it easier to see the other person as a whole, those tend to happen spontaneously if u stick around each other, i also like doing boring stuff like running errands or helping one another

โชI love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two.
E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards.
I like this approach to friendship in general because itโs less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.

๐ซดSpeaking to a friendship aspect: finding my people was initially exhilarating. Being seen and accepted, feeling joyful and excited to spend time together, feeling like a team in the world rather than competitors are all things my first experiences with my best friends felt like. But there were also points where we pissed each other off or hurt each other or grew apart. what set apart these Friendships was being able to talk about it and wanting to be open about our hurt or anger. We reciprocally put in work to stay connected. I could trust my friends would listen to me and try to do better. i could Also trust that I would be forgiven when I needed to do better. To this day, they are the most transformative relationships Iโve had in adulthood and Iโm always so grateful for them.
