My mother could never understand why I invested so much into my friends. Her belief was that, family will always be there for you, not friends. Friends come and go. In a sense she was right. Family matters more than friendships, ‘blood is thicker than water’ But whoever said friends can’t be family too ?
I can honestly say, the friends I have are there for me and I’m there for them. Each friend fills a unique role in my life. Each one different to the other. I’ve learned to accept them for who they are.
My colleagues are the family that I hold close to my heart. Probably more than I can imagine. After all these are the people I spend most of my day with. Constantly in need of each other’s support.
The groups of friends or should I say family🙂😌 seldom mingle together. The one might not ‘vibe’ with the other one, but what I do love that they respect each other. We fight, we take time apart and we make up. The fights are all worth it at the end, when all it did was to make the bond even stronger🦋

I found happiness when my friends became my family and my family became my friends❤️💛
