## What Jamie wrote

Friendship is something most take for granted.

> I suspect that the best way to make true friends – friends who live at the top of the friend pyramid – is to be a true friend yourself. Water finds its own level. If I want a friend who would sacrifice for me, push me to greatness, fight for me, or die for me, then I must be that friend first. That is the main takeaway I have. I am extremely grateful for the true friends in my life, and am committed to being a better friend to them. They are truly the best part of life.

I greatly enjoyed the mix of anecdote, data, framework, and even poem in this essay on friendship.
