Friendship benefits people’s lives in so many different ways. Sharing good times with people you love and having a network of friends to help you through those bad times makes it easier for you to navigate the ups and downs that life inevitably throws at us.

Grab your phone,  send a text, or jump in your car, it’s the day of the year where friends from all over the world show appreciation for one another and remind you why they’re your very best bud. Whether you want to send a card, shoot over a text message, create a photo collage on Facebook, or go and see them in person for a cup of coffee, there is a way for everybody to celebrate International Friendship Day.
