Patrick Rhone has a few thoughts about friendship. This bit got me.

Even worse, messaging a friend to get together for no reason at all often doesn’t even occur to us as an option. We have some open time in our self-important schedules and in the myriad of things we could choose to do, we don’t even think about spending it with a friend. Friendships, and the time they require for nourishment, never seem to enter the equation. They don’t even make it on our to-do lists.

I’m so happy I’m seeing one of my best friends at the end of the month.
