We all remember our first friends. Those friends who appear in your earliest memories and photo albums. For many, those friends came in the form of a cousin, a kid from camp, or maybe even a sibling. We went camping with these friends, made friendship bracelets with them, and trusted them with all the secrets our little tender hearts carried. These early friendships are foundational, often imprinting on us and serving as building blocks for how we construct future relationships. For a lucky few, these friends may still live close by. For the rest of us, whose lives have moved us to different parts of the country, we rely on social media, which is how I reconnected with one of my first friends, Katy.
