Calling all Byron Friendships! Friends come in all shapes and sizes and from as many contexts as there are people to befriend. While some friendships come and go, there are those special people with whom we build a deep bond as we grow up and into who we are today. It’s a connection that transcends the twists and turns of life and solidifies as we journey through the good, the bad, and the awkward. Built from years of shared history, the value of such connections is a sense of community and belonging that fills a need intrinsic to being human. Scientific research adds that quality relationships, such as these lifelong friendships, are a key component in pursuing a happier, healthier, and longer life. “What we found was that the important thing was to stay actively connected to at least a few people because we all need a sense of connection to somebody as we go through life,” says Dr. Robert Waldinger, Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running longitudinal study on human happiness*. With its deeply rooted sense of community, Byron is a fertile field for developing such quality friendships, many of which have grown into lifelong connections. Perhaps it started when you met your bestie on your first day of school at Byron Southwood, or you bonded with other teens while taking the bus to Saunders or hanging out in Warbler Woods. The way you connect today may look different than when you flew down the hill together at the ski hill or drove around Springbank Park in your suped-up car. What hasn’t changed, however, is the trust and acceptance you found, and still find, with each other when you do connect.
