Quote by Marisa G. Franco

“Don't take friendship for granted. Don't be passive, letting friendship fizzle because you forgot to reach out. Don't dip out when friends need you. Don't wait for calamity to rock you into realizing friendship is priceless. Engrave friendship on your list. Make being a good friend a part of who you are, because a deep and true core that needs to belong lies within us all.”

“The real worth of a person often only becomes apparent when they’re no longer around. In the busyness of life, we can take their presence for granted, overlooking the little things they did that made a big difference. It’s only when they leave, whether by choice or circumstance, that we start to reflect on how much they truly meant to us, and how their absence leaves a space that nothing else can fill.”

“The other part of communication is communicating your feelings. Friendship is a two-way street; it's mutual. Be honest about your needs and your feelings at all times, with no exceptions. If you're not articulating your feelings, we're not going to pick up on it--we don't take hints, we don't pick up on invisible social cues, we're not going to understand radio silence. We need real communication or we're both going to get confused and upset.”

“Making a genuine connection with another person does help to counteract all this [loneliness]. And I'm not talking about making Instagram or Facebook "friends" here, but rather one-on-one, face-to-face, IRL relationships. These are what open us to the actual lives of others, not just the filtered and curated existences we're likely to encounter online. In a true friendship, you remove your filters.”

“Finding and maintaining healthy friendships may not always be the easiest undertaking, especially now that a pandemic has made casual interactions more fraught, but the benefits have been well-established. If you have strong social ties, research shows that you are likely to live longer and with less stress. Scientists have linked having a robust social support system to lower rates of depression, anxiety, and heart disease. Even small social interactions--the kind you have while buying a cup of coffee or out walking a dog--have been shown to boost mental health and create stronger ties inside a community.”

“પરસ્પર લાભ સાથે શરૂ થયેલી કેટલીક મિત્રતા જાતીય આવેગોના શમ્યા પછી ફિક્કી, બેસ્વાદ અને સાધારણ બની જાય છે. એક સુંવાળા સહવાસથી શરૂ થયેલી કેટલીક મુલાકાત બહુ ગંદી અને ધૃણાસ્પદ લાગણીમાં પરિણમતી હોય છે.”
