July 30 is recognized globally as International Day of Friendship, a holiday meant to observe different cultures, promote peace and strengthen human solidarity.
Now I’ll admit to not being the bestest of friends — I’m constantly called out for not calling anyone first and am prone to going ghost for a few weeks at a time. But when I do answer the phone, respond to a text or make a rare appearance at a major meetup, I take the time to catch up with my closest buddies as much as possible and make an effort to create long-lasting memories that get referenced during future hangouts.
