What Is 'Suitable'?
Someone once asked me, "What is 'suitable'?" I paused for a moment, thinking about the friends I’ve grown close to. I realized that one of the things I enjoy most in my daily life is simply being with them. Even when we're not doing anything, we never feel bored. Even the silence becomes a joy. When we don't feel the need to rush and fill the gaps with conversation, it's the most ordinary yet cherished time of my life. No matter how far apart we are or how long it's been since we've talked, the thought of the things we've done together still makes the corners of my mouth turn up. Having someone in your life who can make you smile even when they're not around is a blessing.
