The Friends Who Make the World Less Heavy

Some friendships don’t make sense to the outside world.

But to you, they make life worth living.

They’re the ones who laugh at the same ridiculous things.

Who turn ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.

Who find joy in the silly, the random, the nonsense.

Because it’s not about being “normal.”

It’s about finding someone who matches your kind of crazy.

Someone who reminds you that life isn’t just about deadlines and achievements it’s about connection, laughter, and freedom to be unapologetically yourself.

In leadership, in business, in life having people like this matters more than we admit.

The colleagues who stay late with you not because they have to, but because they want to.

The friends who brainstorm wild ideas that sound impossible, but somehow light a spark.

The partners who understand your quirks and don’t try to fix them.

Shared values keep teams together.

Shared dreams keep communities alive.

But shared “craziness”? That’s what keeps us human.

The truth is life will throw challenges, stress, and expectations.

But if you have even one friend who laughs with you in front of the metaphorical fan… you’re rich.

So here’s to those friends, colleagues, and partners who don’t just walk with us in logic, but dance with us in madness.

Because in a world that often feels heavy, they remind us to stay light.

What’s one silly thing you and your closest friend or colleague do that no one else would understand?
