Friendship.

Friendship - like people - comes in all shapes and sizes.

There are those friends who stay with you only for a little while. You meet them on vacation, a festival, a concert or a club but also during an internship or Erasmus.

There are those friends who walk on your side for a longer period of time, like school, university or a job.

There are those friends who are always kind of there even if you don’t see them all the time.

There are those friends who you don’t see in years but then you just pick up the conversation where you left it the last time.

Some friends we break up with, some friends just slowly fade out of our lives, some friends stay.

And finally, there are those friends who eventually become your chosen family. Those you can always count on, you can always trust and who you can always be your true self with, without any judgement.

I think every friendship is important, shapes us, lets us grow. Even those that might hurt us sometimes.

I consider myself lucky to have (had) all those different types of friendship in my life. I wouldn’t want ti imagine my life without them.
