What quality do you value most in a friend?

Darling, let’s be honest — friendship isn’t just brunch dates and matching bracelets. It’s soulwork.

Over the years, I’ve waltzed with all kinds of people — glitter-chasers, secret-keepers, crisis-texters, and midnight laughers. And if you asked me what truly makes someone a friend, I’d answer without blinking:

Steadiness.

Not sparkle, not charm, not even shared playlists (though that helps).

I mean the friend who doesn’t vanish when the music stops. The one who shows up not just when you’re radiant and “on,” but when your mascara’s smudged and your life feels like a badly edited soap opera.

The kind of friend who doesn’t flinch when you’re low, who lets your silence sit next to them without needing to fill it. Who doesn’t say “Let me know if you need anything,” but instead, just shows up. With tea. Or wine. Or snacks. Or nothing but arms that hug with no expiration date.

I’ve had friendships that fizzled when the mood soured. But the ones that stayed? The ones that curled up on my couch during a storm, laughed without needing a punchline, and remembered my coffee order even when I forgot it myself? Those are the ones I treasure.

Because in a world full of shifting sands, steadiness is a rare and radiant thing.

And if you’ve got someone like that in your corner — darling, you’re rich in all the ways that count.

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
