THE FRIENDSHIP THEME

Hi there.

A lot of us have friends around us.

While many people may surround us, the core of true friendship lies in having one or two close friends who stand by us through all circumstances. Their support during both good and challenging times defines the true value and meaning of friendship.

We learn what friendship means through our own experiences. Friendships can change or fade as life moves on, or as distance and personal growth come into play. Some friends only get in touch when they need something, while others reconnect easily. Sometimes, even when we reconnect, it doesn’t last long. We’ve all felt both close and distant in our friendships

You can see these friendship experiences in movies, TV shows, and songs. For example, I love Dionne Warwick’s 'That’s What Friends Are For' because it really captures the feelings that come with friendship.

On the other hand, Jody Watley’s 'Friends' reminds us to watch out for people who might not truly have our best interests in mind.

Corinne Bailey Rae’s 'Put Your Records On' is another song that celebrates friendship. There are also plenty of movies and TV shows about friendship, like 'Three’s Company', 'Friends', 'Sex And The City', and others.

Moving from entertainment to real life, social media has changed how we connect. People use it to promote their businesses, share what they like, or make new friends. The first network I remember is MIRC, and some people even met their lifelong partners there.

Along these lines, Donna Summer recorded 'Friends Unknown' for her fans. Social networking sites show this idea too - some people like it, while others find it a bit sad.

In the end, friendship helps shape who you are. It brings happiness, growth, and memories you won’t forget. Real friends are there for you through good times and bad. Everyone finds their own meaning in friendship through these moments and connections.

I hope these stories, songs, and experiences help you think about what friendship means to you. Enjoy the videos and songs I picked for 'The Friendship Theme.' Thanks for joining in this celebration of friendship.

With love.
