Late-night suppers, crying over the phone, friendship dates. F is for friends who do stuff together!

As adulting creeps into the picture, upkeeping our friendships (or making new ones) suddenly seems a little harder. There's a lot of talk about romantic love, and somehow, we seem to give platonic love a little less weight.

But studies have shown that people with strong friendships tend to flourishmore in both physical and mental health, and can even boost your immunity.

Together with Jonathan Chan (@j0nb0n1_1), we talk about the joy of unexpected friendships, smoothening out friendship kinks, learning through our friendship breakups and most importantly, being grateful for our support systems. Go grab your friends, tell them you love them and together, live long and prosper!
