The way I cannot fathom watching friends when I was growing up with my mom, and to watching it and loving it when I watched it all alone, with a Matthew as the first person I think I ever had a crush on and the one friend who made me laugh and smile the most, to knowing it won’t be the same—feel the same, without him . That show brought me so much comfort (still does) but it made my time in the hospital so much better and enjoyable. Watching it now knowing he’s gone is something that’s been hard to process.
Sometimes you forgot that your favorite actresses and actors aren’t some invincible and eternal force that won’t ever disappear as long as you keep loving them like you do. I cannot believe we lost a friend, a light that leads us out of the dark places, a giving and loving human. You have given so many souls the courage and the will to speak up and get the help we need. You did that. You helped by just being you.
The beautiful man that was Matthew, the amazing work he’s created and the help he’s given to people who were also struggling with inner battles that he has experienced personally, speaks to who he was a person. He was truly someone special. The tremendous light and warmth that was Matthew Perry will always be missed.
Thank you for the laughs, thank you for the smiles you brought to all of our faces, but thank you for being you. Rest in peace Matthew 🙏🏼 you will severely and greatly be missed my love.

Just wanted to say that I discovered Friends at the age 26, like 6/7 months ago. The cast was around that age for the most part and.. I'm feeling connected with the characters in some way.
They're inspiring me to.. Live. They make me laugh so much, and feel alive, like, almost nothing could have done since forever.
I've been feeling so alone and lonely for years and they're such a lovely oxygen bubble in my life now. I love them all, the characters but the cast also.
In memoriam, may you rest in peace Matthew Perry 🤍🕊️

Dear Friend,
I remember the first time we met
It was at this café
You were sitting far away
While me & my friend watched you
Out of all of the people I met
You had the charm to knock them out
My mind brightened as you talked
I wondered how you made me laugh
Just by acting the way you are
Then I recognized something in you
It was looking at a mirror for me
The desperation and the hopelessness
For love & for friendship
For the longest time I never knew
That we were in the same boat
We both laughed and talked
about the same joke all the time
Time passed and some of my friends
Had moved on without a word
However you were there as always
Now I wished I had more time
So I could thank you
For giving me a laugh when I cried
For showing me love will be there
Something that I do not have now
You'll be missed and You'll be loved.
By Oshini Gunasekara.

I think Friends is beloved obviously because it’s very funny and the characters are relatable, but also because it represents something everyone wants but few ppl have irl. Like I have my handful of friends from high-school, handful from college, and few from work etc. but I’ve never had one tight-knit , mixed, core group that was close. And I know very few ppl that actually do have something like that. It seems like it shouldn’t be, but I think that kind of close, mix gendered group like that, that lasts over a decade, is actually so rare. Especially the fact that in the show, most of the friends have known each other since high school or college at least. It’s like every time I watch the show I’m so envious of them, even tho it’s obviously not real lmao. Like damn, why can’t I just have a group like that that stays that close for so long. That’s why I love it sm, I live vicariously through them😭

I woke up this morning and read the bad news... I'm so shocked and heartbroken for Matthew Perry.
Another piece of my childhood that is gone.
R.i.p Matthew,
our dear Chandler,
you will always be in our hearts 💔

I love the friends cast joint statement about Matthew because it’s essentially saying “we are heartbroken and in mourning for our friend. please leave us alone and stop expecting up to say more.”

Still appalled by the fact that when a certain celebrity passes away their co-actors are asked to immediately post about their demise.
I think people forget to realise that we only know the public side of these celebs who are in fact, humans like the rest of us.
Still remember the day Matthew Perry passed away ( RIP 🕊️) and the amount of hate in the comments on instagram , even under previous posts of the FRIENDS cast, all because they didn't post a few words?
What the fuck is wrong with these people like NO ONE AND ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S GRIEF OR ANY OTHER EMOTION
Stop acting like y'all know what goes on in their minds and allow people to fucking grieve like go touch grass and eat some too
People like these mourn the character, not the person.
