I like having a friend that will patiently look at all my photos, and then act amused.
I like having a friend I can just sit and watch the news with for thirty minutes and then talk about “how things have changed” like we’re eighty.
I like having a friend that will go for drinks because neither of us want to go home yet.
I like having a friend I don’t have to talk with all the time to know we’re friends.
I like having a friend who’s a good person.
I like having a friend that tells me going back to school is worth it.
I like having a friend that tells me my hair looks good.
I like having a friend I can be proud of.
I like having a friend that wants to make plans with me.
I like having a friend that hesitates in giving me advice I didn’t ask for, but then says “let me know if you need anything.”
I like having a friend that’s adventurous.
I like having a friend that doesn’t know how good they really are, so then I can remind them.

I love this list. Such simple things and yet all so true. These things and more are so so special.

Textbook definition of a “friend” I would say. I like the “I like having a friend I don’t have to talk with all the time to know we’re friends”. That has always been a key ingredient for my friends.

The bacon was implied, I’m sure.

And yet somehow I can’t stop thinking how it wouldn’t kill your friend to bring along a little bacon.
