Lasting friendships

Some conversations fill our heart with happiness.

Strange as it may sound, there was a time when I felt sad about all my close friends moving out of the city, or settling abroad. But what remains constant is our ability to connect with each other, no matter when we speak. We pick the phone and start from where we left. The boundaries of distance and time barely matter. Maybe with age, the perspective on friendship has changed.

Now I feel the need to be around people who are kind, compassionate and warm. So the need for mere intellectual connections or people who validate my thoughts is less. In these friendships, I find genuineness, and a deep sense of connection.
