Heartfelt note to rebuild a broken friendship

"Sometimes, broken friendships are the roots from which the most beautiful connections grow, if we’re willing to nurture them again."

A Time to Talk – Robert Frost

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, "What is it?"
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

Bestie, you’re the one who turns my bad days into laughter and my good days into unforgettable memories.

No filter, no judgment, just pure, unbreakable friendship. Through chaos, late-night talks, and every crazy adventure, I’m grateful for you every single day!👯‍♀️

An unlikely friendship isn't about finding someone just like you, it's about discovering a bond that defies the odds, where differences become the strength that holds you together.

Sometimes, the most unexpected connections are the ones that last forever!

"Girls will be your friends – they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world." Marilyn Monroe.

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'" C.S. Lewis.

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” Bob Marley.

"A friend is one who helps you to become the best version of yourself." Buddha.
