You can have lots of friends. Friends from your childhood, friends from school, or friends from the same company or group.
Among them, there are friends who share common interests with you. There are people who you and they have a normal relationship that is neither close nor distant
And there are a few of them that you can share everything, from your work, family, personal story, or even your very vague thoughts and feelings.
That friend listens and shares with you without judging you. They never say you can’t be this, you can’t be that. Because they understand what you want is to share, not to ask for advice.
Regardless of when you know them, under what circumstances, you should cherish that friend, cherish the precious friendship between two of you. Keep them in your life.
