I had never tried boba tea. I was extremely apprehensive because I have this thing with textures. A friend of mine decided that she was going to take on this challenge and completely craft a boba tea beverage that would not make me hurl. I was still apprehensive. I had to completely psych myself out to even take my first sip by saying "You're an adult!" "you can do this" "you are an adult!!!"
She nailed it. I will say that the boba were weird but I didn't completely hate it and now that she has assessed that she thinks with one tweak she knows my boba tea drink of choice. She put a lot of thought into this. She asked me questions of my likes and dislikes and went above and beyond...for me. Why? Because that is what friends do!
I had a woman "correct" me on Facebook. Have no idea who the woman even was and she was in fact, wrong. Very wrong. I corrected her but at that point it was my word against hers and she wasn't having it. I told a friend about it and they said, "I'll take care of it". They went on there and laid down more proof as to why she was wrong and I was right. It's what friends do.
I have your back, I've got you, Where are you, what do you need? This world is weird enough any way let alone all the weirdness that we are dealing with in 2020. We need friendships. Lots of them. We need people who understand us and want to help us. We also need to be that person for others.
Learn your friends likes and dislikes. Support them, love them, bring joy to those around you.
I will even go so far as to say, do this for not jut your friends but for random strangers around you. Not in a creepy stalker way, but just be pleasant to be around.
Most of all.....Go out....Be kind.
