Relevance of celebrating the National Best Friend’s Day
By Angad Singh
National Best Friend Day is celebrated every year on 8th June. This day was officially recognised by the U.S. Congress in 1935. It has been celebrated informally for decades as a way to honour the special bond between best friends.
This day reminds us of the moments of the past that we spent together with our friends. It also encourages people to reach out to their old and new friends. Friends bring joy and comfort to our lives. They always support us. They make the good times better and the hard times easier.
The day invites people to reflect on the role of close friendship in our emotional well-being, resilience, and joy. While the origins of the day are unclear, its sentiment resonates universally, acknowledging that friendships are vital for a fulfilling life. This day is a reminder of the powerful, emotional, and mental health benefits that deep-lasting friendships provide.
In a fast-paced world, taking the time to appreciate those bonds that can enrich our lives and strengthen our connection remains untruthful. It’s a day to enjoy a little one-on-one time with the people who never fail to catch us when we fall, has become unforgettable. We can also gather our friends to remember the past and to enjoy and have fun. We can also give presents to our friends or send a message to express our feelings for them.
It is the opportunity to thank our friends, create new memories, and remind ourselves how powerful and healing genuine friendship can be. Here’s to cherishing bonds and creating beautiful memories forever. Friendship fosters happiness, reduces stress, and enhances our overall quality of life, making this day a vital reminder to honour those connections. Last but not least, now I would like to share some quotes with you on National Best friend’s Day –
- “A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU AND STILL LOVES YOU.”
- “BEST FRIENDS ARE THE SIBLINGS WHO GOD FORGOT TO GIVE US”
- “A TRUE FRIEND REACHES FOR YOUR HAND AND TOUCHES YOUR HEART”
- “A REAL FRIEND WALKS IN WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD WALKS OUT”
- “FRIENDSHIP DOUBLES OUR JOY AND DIVIDES OUR GRIEF”
- “FRIENDS ARE THE FAMILY WE CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES”
