High Coo – June 8 – National Best Friends Day

First started in 1935 by the US Congress, National Best Friends Day for appreciating friends and spending quality time with them has been a great way to improve your life. Or, if you don’t currently have a best friend then take deliberate action to find one. How? Perhaps, today’s haiku will help:

Decrease loneliness

be a best friend to others

friendship is healthy.

Note: recent psychology studies indicate that loneliness increased across the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See these sites for more information on the studies and today’s holiday cures:

first time users
don’t know what they’re doing
fidgeting fingers over knobs
pressing red buttons
yanking their cranks
inserting things in slots
they can’t comprehend
the message on the screen
it says: ‘you’re too shitty for this shit’
so they take a baseball bat
and make a few essential modifications
