On a friend's birthday, I gifted her a book, and she questioned why I always choose books instead of other items like jewelry. She suggested that something more tangible would be memorable and safe to keep. In response, I explained that I prefer giving her books because they don't create a fear of loss. Unlike jewelry, which might be lost and cause pain, books hold memories and knowledge that remain with us. They serve as a lasting reminder of our friendship and can help in difficult times. I want my gifts to strengthen our bond, and I believe that true friendship is about caring and supporting one another without the need for formalities. Friends are essential in life, providing trust and companionship through good and bad times. My perspective on friendship emphasizes that everyone who cares for their friends exemplifies friendship, and I see my gift of books as a way to educate and remain in her memory. Ultimately, friendship doesn't require constant acknowledgment, as it is built on understanding and mutual support.
