friendship

Idea I'd like to do in NYC:
- 15+ friends (in semi-close proximity)
- fractional rent payments for a small commercial space
- turn it into a shared library with 24/7 access
Maximize run-ins and see what friends are learning. https://t.co/IImW1Fucgl

It's like we're living separate lives that we then tell each other about, not sharing in the living itself.
Michael Ashcroft • Notes on friendship as a co-adventure
old friendships have such a purity to them — they just love you for your core essence or being rather than all your accomplishments or job title or money or power

I’m increasingly convinced it’s much easier (and happier) to assume strangers are friends you haven’t met yet, than to assume strangers will remain strangers.
