In a world of serious matters, with serious grown-ups, there are those of us, too, who'd lurk into the coziness of a hot, freshly brewed cup of tea, contemplating Friendships on a land too basic, as we see it, and too mundane for such stirring affairs, thinking to ourselves, "This is life better defined".

Friendship Stories is a series on youths' experience of Friendship, initiated by Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing at HELP University, hosted by Tea Buddies.
In our very first episode of the Friendship Stories series, Suji shares with us what Friendship means to her, the way she coped with the Friendship loss between her and her sister, and how she finally met her soulmate.
