Airport pickups are such a show of love. Doesnโt matter if it is romantic or platonic. Anyone who picks you from the airport that you arenโt paying to do so, actually loves you.
Just learned this recently and no one talks about how heartbreaking it is to realize that you categorized some of your friends incorrectly. So when something happens and they didnโt show up the way you needed them to - you realize โOh you really werenโt THAT type of friendโ๐
Categorizing my friends has saved me from a lot of disappointment. Some people are strictly for going out and catching a vibe, others are great for travel, then there are those few special ones who you can do anything and everything with. Stop putting everyone in the same box.
