Today is National Best Friend Day but it’s OK not to have a best friend. My spouse is my friend but not my bestie, that is a different sort of relationship that is way more intimate and special. I have always thought friendships are tough and demanding and in this temporal world we live in there is a lot of life transitions that define what and how long friendship is. I think there is pressure to maintain a platonic partnership like that because of the time and energy it takes. Some tandems have made it work over the years but others have gone their separate ways. It’s OK that I don’t have one. There is no sob story there. It is just the reality of my life.

Are bloggers who visit other blogs being friends?

I think so. Being friendly at least. There is a comradery about the blogging community. Most everyone you meet is a new friend because you spend time digitally with one another.

I don’t have a friend circle either Tony. I love spending time alone to be honest, spending time with my husband + animals. My best friends are my sisters. I also love meeting new bloggers, like Jonathan mentioned. Yes, a great community.

Tony, I have one friend who has been there for over 20 years, but we have so much in our own lives we mostly just catch up when we get together and then don’t see each other for months. My husband and I are very good friends as well as spouses. As you say it is different from the usual “friend” category. I think my bestie is probably my youngest sister. We communicate daily, she knows my secrets and I know hers. Great post.
