Tomorrow is International Friendship Day. To kick off the celebrations, last week I shared some of my favourite video game buddies. These characters are there for each other no matter what and whether it’s armed enemies, deadly curses or scary monsters, the protagonist never has to face the danger alone.

But it’s not just video game characters who need friends. They’re important in real life too; they’re the people who pick you up when you’re feeling low, give you advice when you’re not sure what to do, and tell you you’re being an idiot when you need a good kick up the butt. I’ve made a number of friends here in the WordPress community over the past few years and they’ve taught me so much, both about myself and blogging. Here’s a shoutout to some of my favourite people to thank them for being so awesome.
