“The dynamic of friendship is almost always underestimated as a constant force in human life […], but no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
‘there wasn’t enough naan so we shared the last piece’
a group of friends had a reunion after over a year since they were in medschool together. they dressed in znali, ate naan and kebab, and fed each other bites full of love. it reminds me of how I want to dress up the most, look my best and sexiest, for the most intimate dinners with those I’ve found most comfort with in life. I hope the work I create and am a part of always reminds me of that.
