Friendship: The family we choose

IN the journey of life, we are shaped not just by the family we are born into, but by the family we choose — our friends. These extraordinary individuals enter our lives at different stages, adding vibrancy, depth, and meaning to our existence. For me, friendship has been the cornerstone of my personal growth, offering a support system that rivals the strongest of bonds.

Recently, I was inspired to reflect on the significance of friendship after reading an insightful article titled "The Best Friends Make Each Other Better" by Rohit Brijnath in the Singapore Straits Times. Brijnath eloquently captured how true friendships have the power to elevate us, to challenge us to grow, and to become the best versions of ourselves. This resonated deeply with me, as it mirrored my own experiences with the incredible people I’m privileged to call my friends.
