How Josh and Nathan keep the bromance alive

We get caught up a lot of the time in, you know, what guys have to be like and what mates have to be like. And when you hang out with your mates, you should be getting drunk and talking about girls. The relationship that I have with Nathan encompasses all of those things, and we feel really comfortable talking about the things that you can’t talk about with a lot of other people.

So, I’m Josh.
And I’m Nathan.

We met on the first day of high school. I did enjoy school and I did well at school, but I was finding I sort of wanted to move on and get a full-time job. It was quite scary that I might leave school, leave some friends behind, and I did speak to Josh and another friend, Charlie, about this.

It goes from, you know, someone that you see every day at school, and you don’t really have to think about it. You don’t have to try very hard to actively having to be like, “Oh, you know, are we gonna do something this weekend? Are we gonna plan something?”

I did miss out on a fair few activities and nights out. But yeah, we did a good job of always chatting, like, through group chats and Facebook and Instagram and that. I guess we just make time for each other. That’s the real thing. Everyone can get lost in work and other friendship groups and just life in general, but we kind of always make plans. Every week we hang out, without a doubt. That’s what makes a friendship, like, last.
