I had this conversation with Ofie a few years ago that lasted like five seconds.
O: are we friends?
Me: yes
O: but not close friends.
Maybe not even five seconds.
But it's still at the forefront of my queries. Do we really need to classify friendship? How did we get relegated to the periphery? You know, the poor soul that is not invited to the wedding or the surprise birthday party organised by the loving spouse.
Maybe it's because one did not text, or join the group for a cup of joe or visit them at the hospital when they're having babies or drop by their houses during maternity leave.
I can understand the high school and college clique. They've known each other since they were kids. It's the hardest throng to penetrate.
But after all said and done, you just know when you're friends, you jut know.
