Communities tend to be life-moment specific: your school community, your work community, your neighborhood community. What happens when you graduate, change jobs, move? The older you get, the more magically special it is to grow forever friends out of moment-specific classmates, co-workers, neighbors. There are some that survive on past shared experiences and others that offer continued new memories. Some might be weekly phone calls or texts and others that once-a-year-it's-like-no-time-has-passed connection.
“I really like the thing called friendship. And I think the most fulfilling kind of friendship is the one that you stumble quite randomly upon. Unexpected and unknown. You can learn a lot about yourself from these kinds of friendships, and some last a long time while others last only for the duration of time that you have together!
But then I wonder, is the length of a friendship measured by
the time you are given to spend within each others' company?
the time you are given to spend within each others' company?
Or is it measured by how long into the future you can look back at the photos you took, look back and replay the adventures and the laughter in your head; still feeling like it was one of the "bestest" times of your life? Because if it's the latter, I have a thousand friends!”
