Kate is a good friend
She’s been pleasant & willing to get into every activity that’s been suggested the entire trip.
To be the only person not on ecstasy (or whatever they were drugged with) and still stay up and fun, even in her matching pajama set, requires dedication, patience and commitment and maybe love.
When the topic of politics came up at dinner, instead of getting defensive at her friends’ disapproval of her voting choices, she sways the topic elsewhere suggesting they not ruin the night with that convo (which it clearly was going to do).
She’s committed to the friendship, keeping the peace & and having a good time on the trip. Having a friendship over the span of that many years and living in different places at the end of the day requires a commitment to love someone whose life is no longer easily intertwined with yours.
Sure, there are some petty dynamics between these three women , but I see truths of my long term and long distance relationships in these women. Their friendship is beautiful simply for the fact that they gathered and showed up committed to maintaining their connection. I hope it survives this trip!
