Friends, gather 'round, for I have an important declaration to make. Today, I renounce the title of 'perfect friend'—a title I never asked for and one I am no longer willing to bear. In this season finale, I’m diving into why trying to be 'the perfect friend' is a recipe for burnout. And why being crowned the perfect friend is even worse! Spoiler alert: I’ve been there, got the crown, and promptly handed it back. The friendship pedestal is the worst seat in the house! When we idealise friends, we set both sides up for failure. So, instead of aiming for perfection, let’s focus on being there—because real friendships aren’t about being flawless, they’re about consistently showing up, having fun and making memories. From henceforth, I decree and declare, that I don’t want to be a perfect friend!
