The article reflects on the simplicity and intimacy of friendships in youth, exemplified by a photograph of Lee Miller and Tanja Ramm sharing a serene breakfast in bed. It contrasts this with adult friendships marked by busy lives and scheduled meet-ups, where real connection feels diminished. The author laments the fleeting nature of genuine time spent together as adults and the struggle to create opportunities for those deeper, more meaningful interactions amidst life's responsibilities.
For most of us, it was probably during school or university, when staying over or crashing at someone's house was a regular occurrence.
Staying in a friend's room or apartment felt like being on an island – safe, cosy and fun. It was about whispering, giggling and sharing secrets.
An honest message, but an empty one at the same time. Because we won't do it more often. We'll continue rushing through our daily lives.
It's a scene about love but, above all, it's about friendship. When was the last time I lay in bed with a friend like that?
