Friendship is what will save us
so fall deeply in love with your friends
date them, woo them, pursue them
mark your anniversaries
celebrate your victories
take care of their names
when they’re not in the room
create a space for them
where all truths are tender
for intimacy doesn’t have to be
reserved for romance
and crushes do not belong
only to lovers
so don’t hide it
when you find
a bona fide ride-or-die
A rebellion of care – David Gate
