“That night, I opened Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics, much of which is dedicated to his thoughts on friendship. Three years prior, when I had read, "The wish to be friends can come about quickly, but friendship cannot", it had made me sad. I didn't like the idea of waiting so long to feel close to someone, as if it was a skill you had to master over many years. I understood it better now. It took effort to see past differences in someone's background, beliefs, or personality. It took courage to be vulnerable. To share the embarassing and scary parts of yourself - the parts you don't even understand - with friends. It took humility to repair your connections, to forgive, and be forgiven. Friendship is the only type of love available to all of us at any point in our lives. It is common, often overlooked, unmarked by major holidays. To me, friends should be embraced with the same magnitude of wonder and care that we feel for lovers and family members.”
