They say people in your life are seasons…
I moved a lot when I was young, changed schools for various reasons and almost my entire friend group changed pretty regularly.
So unlike many, I never got that one Best friend, someone who I can look back at my childhood with.
Most of my dear friends are memories, moments, feelings that I get to reminisce on.
For better or worse, I attach quickly and let go of easily.
Today I got to speak with one of my longer running friends for a couple hours.
Without the distractions of phones or children.
Just two men, talking over coffee and a walk, discussing things we wouldn’t share with most, being open and honest each other, not worrying about judgement.
It felt like our only intention during this time was to hear the other person, understand them and try to provide some value in our response.
We exchanged wisdom and encouraged each other to be better in a sincere, positive way.
It was an amazing experience that made my soul sing.
These moments are rare and fleeting, Today was precious and I am grateful to have such a Friend.
