A few years ago (2005 to be exact), a dear friend of mine age me a book published by M.I.L.K (Moments Intimacy Laughter Kinship) titled FRIENDSHIP. M.I.L.K is a global search of extraordinary and geographically diverse photographs depicting family life, friendship and love. While I was packing for my pending exchange trip earlier this week, I found the book and started flicking through it. While flicking through the book, I was able to connect with the people in the photographs. I had experienced the same emotions they had experienced. I had cried with my friends, laughed with my friends and played with my friends! It’s great to know no matter where you are in the world, friendship is the same and will always be the same!
