Friendship is probably the only relationship that arrives without an application form, a dress code, or a rulebook. It doesn’t care where you come from, what you believe, or what chapter of life you’re in. It simply pulls up a chair and says, “Scoot over.” Sometimes friendship is two women who can turn a five-minute coffee into a five-hour conversation, communicate entire paragraphs with one look across the room, and somehow laugh harder every time they retell the same old story. Perhaps that’s why friendship is so extraordinary. It is the one relationship where you don’t have to audition. You don’t need to impress anyone, explain yourself, or pretend to have everything figured out. Friends have already seen you at your best, your worst, your weirdest, and somehow decided to stay. They know when to laugh with you. When to laugh at you. And when to simply sit beside you until the world feels a little lighter. Friendship doesn’t see gender. It doesn’t keep score. It doesn’t ask for perfection. It doesn’t arrive with conditions. It simply collects moments, shared mugs of tea, impossible adventures, terrible puns, spontaneous road trips, windy afternoons, wagging tails, comfortable silences, and stories that somehow get funnier every single time they’re told. Here’s to the friends who become our favourite people. The human ones. The furry ones. And the wonderfully strange ones who quietly become family. Ceramic Mug, 300 ML
