Friends:20 things the series taught me about life in 20 years of existence

Already 20 years that Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe have made us laugh, cry...and damn uninhibited! Because seeing this band grow old while keeping their child's soul, becoming attached to them all the more because they are full of faults, watching them progress by making a good bunch of mistakes, we say to ourselves that life can be so much simpler and better than our sometimes over-the-top "self-control" would have us believe.

So for once, we decide to pay tribute to this cult series by remembering 20 lessons:

1. Sometimes getting old is really good… If only to stop looking like what you looked like when you were 16….

2. "Being great" doesn't necessarily mean "making decisions like a responsible person"...

3. Besides, no matter how much we grow up, we always remain a bit of a child...

4. We all have an ex whose memory remains as pleasant as a large ball of wasabi swallowed on waking...

5. Being "parents" doesn't necessarily (always) mean being mature...

6. "Taking a break" NEVER means "It's a slip party tonight" (and usually, a break, it smells pretty scorched…)

"We had a break »

7. When we're alone at home, we all do things we want to keep secret...

8. Arguments often strengthen friendships. Love too, by the way...

9. A "lover" is also a friend...

10. Rather than being perfect, it is better to be yourself to the fullest. It makes us happier and makes us unique.

"It's me. I am strange and sensitive . »

11. When you're pregnant, a lot of people gravitate around you, finding it fashionable to give you lame advice. Men also dare...And that REALLY annoys us.

No womb, no opinion! »

12.X

13. A divorce is not necessarily the end of the world (even after you can live a real and fabulous love story)…

14. Just because you're bad at something doesn't mean you have to quit. Who asked us to be good at everything? Why don't we just have a blast?

15. Sometimes you shouldn't be afraid to cut to the chase...

"Come on, Ross, let's have sex! »

16. To know what we really want, we all make (big) mistakes...

17. Don't ask too much of others, just accept them as they are...

I'm not good at advice. Could a sarcastic comment interest you instead? »

18. Through our window, on Facebook, when a stranger is talking on the phone next to us, we are all a little voyeur, our senses awakened in meerkat mode...

19. Sometimes you have to dare to unplug your brain and follow your heart...
