WHICH FRIEND WOULD YOU CALL TO HELP YOU BURY THE BODY AND WHY?

I understand the sentiment of the question and can assure you that I'll never need someone to help me bury the body. At this age and stage, it would have been done already.

That said, of all the people who are my true friends, there isn't one of them who wouldn't help me with anything. And it’s mutual; I wouldn’t think twice about helping any of them if they were in need. I have a wonderful group of good friends that has expanded since my move to Southampton.

The past few years have revealed a few surprises - both good and unfortunate. I’m not one to have more than a handful of people close to me at any given time. It’s always sad to realize, on occasion, that there is one friend who wouldn’t help me bury the body. I’ve learned to address the issue or conflict head-on without delay. That approach reduces my anxiety and tendency to overthink situations. No one talks about friend break-ups; they’re different from any other relationship collapse. Harder, I think.

As usual, I digress.

I could call any one of my friends to help me bury the body. Why? Because that’s what friends do for each other.
