When I watch that video I always end up thinking about what defines true friendship. And while they both seem incredible dorky, at least they have the guts to be real friends. sing about their love (yes, that’s right, they are singing about their love). Maybe I’m getting a little sentimental about friendship after watching seasons 4-8 of Scrubs, and watching Turk and J.D. How many friends do you have that you would call if you were in trouble? How many friends do you have that you could really count on, that remember things that are important to you, and never fail to show that they are thinking of you?įor me, real friendship is the kind that develops when two people click in a way that is, well, magical! It’s when silences are no longer awkward, when you know what the other person is thinking before they have even finished saying something, when they rejoice in all of your strengths and all of your flaws, when you never have to hold back who you are, because they love everything about you anyways. It’s about the shared experiences, the people who are alongside you when you are dreaming – who come into your life and leave an imprint in your heart that aches with joy long after they are gone. It’s about the people you let into your life – your family, your co-workers, lost loves and those who have left us. So rather than holing up on this red, pink and white holiday and bemoaning your single-status, here is a chance for you to re-evaluate and re-strengthen your friendships. In fact, for many, many years of my life, dating and love had nothing to do with my Valentine’s Day experience. Being part of this annual ritual brought me up with the understanding that Valentine’s Day was about friendship and reminding those around you that their friendship was valued.
My first memory of Valentine’s day was sitting in my kitchen the night-before (yes, I called it Valentine’s Eve) and writing a Valentine’s Day card for every student in my class so I could hand them out the next day. Regardless of your perspective, Valentine’s Day can serve as a wonderful opportunity for renewal renewal of love, of course, but also of friendship. Some think it’s a wonderful day…others think its a commercialized, unnecessary, gooey-filled gross holiday that induces hate. The girls here at The Wonders of Womanhood are split on their perception of Valentine’s Day.
