When it comes to life, there are two categories of people that matter the most: friends and lovers. I’m that person who prefers a friend over a lover. Friends are the unsung heroes of our lives. In their company we feel free of worries, we live the moment and live the best life.

Friends are Low Maintenance

Friends are those plants that loves you even when you forget to water them for weeks. Their unconditional love is what made me choose friends over lovers.

Lovers are like exotic parrots who needs fancy food, constant attention and if you mess up once – bam! You’re gone. They will be squawking for hours until you go crazy. 😂

You can wear your ugliest pajamas with them without thinking that they’ll judge you. With lovers, there’s always a pressure to look good – and the pressure is real! 😂

Friends Won’t Judge Your Life Crisis

You can text your friend at 3 a.m. something like, “Is it possible to die from an expired slice of pizza?” and they’ll start googling symptoms for you. Lovers? haha! They’ll probably ask why aren’t you sleeping man? It’s too late. Are you…
