To add to a lovely question today:

What type of friend are you?

Here’s some other types of friends to celebrate:

❇️ The friend who stimulates you creatively and/or intellectually. Underrated but the friend who activates your curiosity or your imagination — the one who inspires you to experiment, imagine, be more creative and think deeper, differently or even bigger.

❇️ The friend you can go on adventures and side quests with. The slightly mischievous friend you can get into good trouble with and still survive. The one who sparks your zest for life, reminding you that life is meant to be fun and a little unpredictable.

❇️ The friend who gives great hugs. You know the one — those big hugs that feel like warm chocolate chip cookies on a cold, winter day with an extra kick of uncommon depth. The one who feels like home.

❇️ The friend you can call or rely on in a crisis or challenging times. Not every friend can handle heavy, intense emotions or circumstances and that’s ok. Those who can hold space and stay for you here probably had their fair share of practice.

❇️ The friend who’s always there, near or far, a phone call away, a flight away, growing right alongside you. Thoughtful, caring and present.

Whether you see some or all of these capacities in yourself or someone you already have, it’s not just worth naming, but also worth celebrating.

Remember to celebrate you and those you love, in all the ways you show up and they show up for you. 🤍
