“Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves,” writes Niamh Ennis, who explains why friendships are our deepest connections.
There’s an age-old saying, “Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves,” and never has it resonated more in today’s world, where our definitions of family are evolving and expanding.
This mutual selection creates a wonderful sense of empowerment and freedom. Friendships allow us to step away from the obligatory and embrace the chosen. We aren’t bound by tradition or expectation but rather by a deep sense of respect, shared values, and unconditional love.While family bonds often come with a sense of duty, friendships give you room to define and amend the dynamics of support on our own terms.
Today’s friendships are more intentional, forged with people who empower us, inspire us, and challenge us to become the very best versions of ourselves. This dynamic mirrors the familial bonds we value, but without the same boundaries. Friends can become family by offering that same stability, connection, and trust, while allowing us the room to express our individuality fully.
