I have just returned from a hiking trip to Wales with two of my best friends. I am curled up on the sofa glowing with a contentment that can only come from spending time with people who nourish, sustain and love you. Right now, in this perfect moment, I believe in everything. Love. Hope. People. Magic. Above all, I believe that everything will be okay. Because that’s what your best friends will do to you. They’ll lift your dishevelled spirit from the floor, dust it off, and remind you that even when life is terrible and nothing is making you smile, you will find yourself holding your sides, crying with laughter at something your friend said or did.
