0:04.7	I'm Janet. I'm Mel. And I'm Helen.
0:18.8	We get a lot of messages about relationships, both romantic and platonic. But when it comes to
0:24.9	conversations around relationships, romantic ones seem to get most of the attention during our
0:30.4	20s and 30s. But friendships are just as if not more important than romantic relationships during
0:36.4	these very critical points in our lives. What does it mean to be a friend? What does it mean to be
0:41.6	a best friend? Let's discuss this. I can list so many qualities and I did. Let me just name a few.
