Tips for building healthy, mutually beneficial friendships
At the start of the year, one of my friends (M) asked me about making friends. We were just having the regular new year catch-up/talk and he stated wanting to make more friends as a goal for 2021, hence his question. I was pleasantly surprised that he was asking me about making friends. These tips are for anyone looking to have deeper friendships, whichever way they may have started.

Lol. To be honest, I don't know why I chose to make that title the title of this end-of-year review post. I just opened the laptop and realised I didn't have a title and I also didn't want to go with '2020 in retrospect'. I guess this title actually fits, especially considering that none of us could have accurately predicted how this year turned out.
