Have I made any mistakes?
What is 'friendship'?
You wake up, open your eyes, and they're telling you it's too early. The same is your body and your mind... but you have stuff to do. You have to go to work, to school, or whatever was the reason behind you setting the alarm clock for such an ungodly hour. You can taste a gross mixture sour, salty and bitter in your mouth. It's time to brush your teeth.
Throughout the years spent on that morning rite you've forgotten to see a person when looking into the mirror. We get used to things that remain unchanged each time we see them. That's why we buy new clothers and furniture, paint walls, and why when we walk into a perfume shop, we can sense the wide variety of beautiful scents, but after a few minutes, we stop noticing them. We're unable to tell a difference because stability is boring.
We have a special kind of relationship we built with other people who we call 'friends'. When we meet someone new, we want the person to see us at our best, try to make a good first impression, but pretending to be a person we're not is difficult. We eventually give up and start behaving normally. That's what we call 'friendship' - feeling natural, without the need to act or to pretend.
