attention is the foundation of love. if you want strong friendships, you need to nurture them. listen, understand, and help them. not in terms of consumption or pleasure, but in terms of growth. this often means giving them feedback they don't want to hear, and sometimes even leads to heartbreak. your friends will support you, and push you further than you could ever go alone, and you will do the same for them. sit down, make time, and listen to your ancient, gentle, violent, unrelenting soul.
