words of fucking wisdom
friendships are very quantifiable. skip the bs of how all relationships live in immeasurable silos beyond our grasp and comprehension. the value of all friendships can be ranked simply by counting how often you meet* over any given period of time. once every week? once every year? count & rank. those at the top are your best friends. those at the bottoms are not.
considering the time spent with any particular friend sums up: how much you have in common; how interested you are in being together; what kind of other commitments you are ready to give up in order to see each other. etc.
don’t meet? not a good friend.
simply.
*you get to define meeting.
