friendship

Real friendships are hard to come by. It's not so easy to find a true friend who you can come to with all your thoughts and emotions. A true friend who is always there and will never judge you. Sure, they may joke around and name call you to your face, but they would never do so behind your back. The list of what makes a true friend can go on and on. Yes, it's rare. So when you do have that true friend, you don't want to let something so special go. 

...Even if that friend is an apparition! 

This comic by Tumblr user, ReddPenn, is a classic and should be given a spotlight more than once! 

"Is there a typo in the title? Don't you mean Valentine's Day", I'm hearing you ask? 

Nope - Galentine's Day is a concept, or holiday, created by Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec. It takes place on February 13, when, in her words, "My lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas." 

So basically, it's a time for us babes to kick it back at brunch while celebrating ourselves and each other, and telling Valentine's Day to do one. Sounds pretty good to me! In the spirit of this great day, here are some of the best Galentine's Day tweets on the internet; inspired by Leslie Knope's genius, empowering women the world over, and giving strong female friendships the credit they deserve. 

"The Office" is, in my opinion, one of the best sitcoms to have ever been created. A show that has become a household classic, we have been blessed with nine seasons of laugh-out-loud, cringeworthy and heart-warming moments. Its genius lies in the way we get to know and fall in love with the characters and their idiosyncrasies as the show progresses. From Jim and Dwight's constant pranking to Michael's compulsive need to be adored by everyone, the characters and their interactions are understandable and relatable to the masses. 

But most of all, I think the show is about the complex pursuit of love. "The Office" shows us just how painful but beautiful it can be to find and maintain true, lasting love. In honor of the lead-up to Valentine's Day, here are some of the show's most famous couples' and the journeys they went on to find love with each other.

If you have a friend like this, let them know how much you appreciate them.

Road trips are always fun. Music, friends, laughing and singing. But sometimes someone gets a little tired and decides to take a little nap... that's what happened with Eria's boyfriend Scott!
