My Best And Most Successful Friendships?

You’ve probably heard of the saying “Friends are the family you choose” ; a quote that has probably been screenprinted, pretty font-ed, and marketed to every Pinterest mom out there and more. Up until a while ago, I would say I believed it too; but after analyzing my strongest friendships, I have found that pretty much all of them began as a result of being nudged in a certain direction, somewhat like an assemblement.
