Blessed are the people who have friends whom they can be with for the rest of their lives. As life continues to change, friends have come and go. You may have friends through your lowest moments and friends whom you're with in the most fun times.
Although, there are friends that are low-maintenance. Those kind of people are literally one call away and you can totally be yourself with them. As Charlotte Negron on TikTok has coined it, they are called "couch friends." She shared through various news outlets that the term "couch friends" originated from, literally, the moments she has with her friends on the couch.
Couch friends are the best people to get vulnerable and be transparent with. You both need nothing else to keep the conversation going as you both know each other inside out. For example, you only get to hang out with your other friends when an event has come up or a dine out has been planned. Couch friends need no occasion to come running at your doorstep and ride with your vibes that particular day.
Being together with your couch friend is an imperative part of one's life. Having that go-to person to strip yourself of all the walls you've built is really an essential especially when you need to destress. Having an intimate and a next-level comfortability with your friend is something that should be eternally cherished. It is rare for people to actively choose to stay in your life.
A big hug to all our couch friends! You are one of the reasons why life doesn't have to look like an extravagant party all the time. Life can majorly look like two people together on a couch, sharing slices of their life while sipping on warm cups of coffee.
