Forever Friend

Avigna S.

  • I've had a difficult time navigating friendships my entire life and one of the reasons for this is the lack of representation of healthy friendships in media compared to relationships. Television, literature, and movies give me a framework for how to approach the world and without them, I would not be the person I am now. Though this piece isn't about a *healthy* friendship, it showcases flaws incorporated from my past experiences.

  • For me, it serves as a coping mechanism and helps me express my feelings and experiences in an entertaining way that brings joy. I often write about ideas that come to my mind that translate my daydreams into readable scenarios since writing lets you envelop another personality through words.
