Friends : Single and in the City
The marketing pitch for the TV Series 'Friends' describes it perfectly: "It's about sex, love, relationships, careers, a time in your life when everything's possible. And it's about friendship because when you're single and in the city, your friends are your family."
At our own version of "Central Perk"
There are 5 of us, friends who used to work together until we were "re-deployed". We lunch together, indulge in each other's dramas and adventures. There is an unspoken promise of reliance, an understood confidence that whatever we divulge to each other stays with us. We know our moods, familiar with the tempers and deal with it with respect and acceptance of each of our individuality. This is who we refer to as The Inner Circle.
Our circle extends to our other friends, each other's boyfriends/girlfriends (regardless how often they change) and relatives. And it grows outward like a concentric circle until we realize we are so much intertwined in each other's lives that we have a bunch of people now in our extended family.
What we have in common is that we are here in New York away from our families. Single, young, with lives full of promise in love and careers. It is a beautiful time for all of us.
"I'll be there for you cuz we've been here before... I'll be there for you"
