Friends are the people you care and trust: your found family. They bring you joy, make you laugh, and feel like you belong. They are the people you create memories with and the people you can be yourself around. Whether you guys are quietly enjoying each other’s company or going on a crazy escapade, time always seems to go by faster in their company. These photos document the randomness and fondness we share with each other.
