Friendship. How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst?
I think I've mentioned repeatedly that my core group of friends (and a few new ones) have been my life-line this year (and for a long while). I'd not have met them if it weren't for the internet, and I'm glad that we did meet. They change my perspective in small and large ways, all on their own, by bringing their own colour, their own spice, to the friendship. But what matters most is that they have been there - a simple comment, a hug, a laugh - when I needed them, and I hope that I've been there for them. Any less would be a travesty.
