I don't know about you guys, but I for sure don't see many friendships like the one Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake have. l literally want Justin Timberlake on Jimmy Fallon every night so I can have the antics in my life all the time. I often find myself rewatching videos of them singing together because they are always so happy and it makes me so happy.
I feel like a friendship this pure is hard to come by these days, people expect way too much out of each other.
Justin Timberlake spends a lot of his time on tour, making music, or just living his life and with that much going on its got to be hard to keep up with all of the people you care about. People often get caught up in what we want people to do for us. We want people to reach out to us, we want people to check on us, we want people to care for us, but are we really doing those things for other people?
I think from Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake's friendship we can learn that we don't have to be a part of someone's life every day for them to still be a close friend of ours. JT and JF definitely don't see each other every day of their lives, but when they do see each other they always pick up right where they left off, and you'd think they did see each other all of the time. This is how all of our friendships should be.
Personally, I have never been the person to need to talk to someone all day, every day to feel like we are good friends. That doesn't mean that I don't feel left out of my friends' lives, because they aren't updating me with what is going on, but I am constantly checking up on them. Honestly, it gets exhausting being the one who always reaches out first, or the one who immediately updates their friends on their life, but they don't return that. Of course, I don't see first hand Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon's friendship, but I am willing to bet that they don't worry about the state of their friendship if it ever feels like one of them is putting in more effort than the other.
The whole point is we should be looking to Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake on maintaining healthy and fun friendships. No matter how we feel about our friendship with certain people, they are still our friends and I am willing to bet they would still do anything in the world for you if they really cared that much. Don't take your friends for granted, no matter how far or how close they are to you. They will always be waiting to hear about your life, no matter how long it has been since you two last talked.
