"Squish" Inspired by Dark Room Etiquette:

Squish

Have you ever seen that person

and known in your soul

that you want to be friends with that person?

Not romantic love at first sight,

but platonic love at first sight.

It’s a bond that cannot be explained,

which makes striking up a conversation difficult.

Maybe you have something in common,

but maybe talking to that person

quickly becomes awkward.

It wasn’t the right time.

You try again later,

maybe they’ve changed –

maybe you’ve changed –

and, this time, a friendship is born.

Friendship isn’t always instantaneous and easy,

developing relationships takes time and effort.

And it’s worth it.

Be a friend and cultivate friendship,

forgive and serve,

laugh and cry,

dream and encourage.

A friend is someone you value

and who you believe values you.
