The Company.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how ethereal it feels when you find your people. All through my teenage life, I had issues with making friends. It wasn't that I was an introvert or something — that click with people just never happened until recently.

According to me, there are two kinds of friendships: the first kind being due to proximity, the other being due to desire. And the latter absolutely destroys the former with a sledgehammer. Why? Well, it is easy to be "friends" with someone you interact with daily, but what happens when that is over — when you are out of school, or you leave that job, or move to a different country? They fade away.

The bonds that truly matter are the ones that we want, that we actively desire. If I like a person and want them to be my friend, then I will plan hangouts, I'll randomly video call them when I find something silly on the internet, or when my life is at such a low, I am directly competing with the Mariana Trench. Point being — I will invest in that relationship. And if you're lucky, you'll get the same response, and boom, you have a solid friend right there.

And having good friends, especially when you are young, is invaluable. Because these are the people you don't hide anything from, the people who know why you are the way you are, the people you can relax around, have fun with, tell lame jokes to, go explore restaurants with, discuss why you went back to your ex for the billionth time.

Being friends means being each other's pillar. You stay right there — firm and never withering — in the highs and lows, and see a person bloom into their potential. So yes, I hope the person reading this also meets their people, because it'll be the best thing that happens to them.

Yeah, I know I have not posted anything for months, but I am planning to update you guys. Just have this one for now.

What matters the most? the destination or the journey? The company.
