Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first Thanksgiving is them being like, oh, all our parents have fucked off on us.

Literally, exact same thing.

Exact same thing.

When we did that, we had no idea that we were referencing friends.

This is what we have in my head.

Yeah, I mean, like you've released a cookbook at 25.

That's a thing that most people don't do until they're like 40.

Yes.

It is our major coping mechanism for getting through it.

I think it's because we, the early years of our friendship and the friendship of our kind of like immediate group were so tumultuous because my friend, your boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer when we were, we were all very young and he was all very young.

And let's just say it, his parents were not around to help him with that.

And no, they were not.

And we just became the unit that formed around him and around each other.

And like, I wouldn't wish that on any friend group because it's a devastating thing to go through.

But what it does for you is that it brings you closer on a level that you only really get with close family members.

So when you say found family about those kinds of people, people who you stared down cancer and death with,

It doesn't mean found family as in I love her like a sister.

It means she is my sister.
