I've had enough good friendships in my life to know that, alongside being trustworthy and being loyal, one of the most impactful elements in any relationship is just being present. Showing up when you say you will. Showing up when you say you might. Showing up when you say you'll try. Showing up when you don't really want to but you know it will mean a lot to the other person. Showing up when someone's having a bad night and you don't have any clue how to help but you know just being with them will comfort them.
The most valuable commodity we all have is time, and giving that to someone you love is a gift not easily forgotten.
