A recent photo shared by Humans of New York has taken the internet by storm, resonating with countless individuals who couldn’t resist tagging their best friends. The image encapsulates the essence of friendship in just two witty sentences: “We don’t have any hobbies. But we do try to get together a few times a month to judge people and complain about things.”
Have we crossed paths? Because I believe we might just be kindred spirits. It’s a universal truth that all best friends share a penchant for playful banter when they’re together. This is the beauty of true friendship: we express the snarky, judgmental thoughts we’d never dare share in public and laugh until our sides ache. It’s akin to therapy, but far more budget-friendly and a touch more savage.
Where would we be without that friend who captures a status update from Sarah and replies with a cheeky “LOL. This girl.”? The shared laughter and inside jokes are priceless. The candidness of these women is truly refreshing.
Currently, the article is flooded with over 131,000 comments, with a few individuals attempting to play the role of the virtuous by declaring they never judge anyone, quoting their favorite passages from self-help literature. But let’s be real; they can keep their positive affirmations to themselves. We’ll be here, reveling in our laughter. Oh, and sorry, but you can’t sit with us.
