Hi! I'm Reina and I created this website to present a contextual analysis paper on the topic of friendship and its meaningfulness. Although we wouldn't ever question the importance of our friends in our lives, we don't really take the time to think  about our friendships - their nuance and complexity, why we need them, and how to take care of them. This site and my paper seeks to present just a few voices that speak about how we can dig deeper, with the hopes that it'll encourage people to work towards cultivating a culture that values friendship in the way it should be valued.
