Friendship

If you’re wondering why friendship gets harder as you get older… join the club.

Once upon a time we would just walk up another child on the playground and compliment them on their school bag and we’d have a friend for life!

Thankfully, the Black Ballad writers are asking the questions and interrogating the answers that we all want to know and understand.
