I got in Touch lately with a friend and I can't describe how good it felt to talk to her again. I was so happy!
We were very close some years ago not only because of studies but also because we shared a lot in common. She is just a very caring person and one of those friends who has the same kind of view on friendships as I do.
We got along so well and looked up to each other which made our friendship quite interesting because we had different strengths and supported each other with our strengths. There was a lot of respect between us and real communication too which I think was our strength as friends. The best part of our friendship is that I never felt like there was any competition between us. We never hesitated to acknowledge the things we love about each other and ask for help from each other.
Lol.
Writing this makes me wanna go back in time. She is such a genuine person and that's what I love the most about her.
Talking with her recently reminded me of our friendship and not only that. It also reminded me that I am crap with keeping in touch with people.
I couldn't find any reason why I didn't keep in touch with her after we graduated, honestly. All I remember is that I needed to figure out my life and it got me feeling so busy that I didn't make time to keep in touch with her and some of my other friends.
It also reminded me that I do that most of the times because I have been going through a circle of high and low self-esteem for such a long time. And this has got me feeling not worthy to be called a friend.
The thing is I love to give my time, my love and attention to my friendships. I love to share. And when I feel like I have nothing to give my friends, it makes me feel unworthy as a friend and I just withdraw without really realizing it.
I think that's the one most important thing I shared I in common with this friend of mine. She is also the type of person who loves to give and share. And it was so easy to be friends with her because I never felt cheated and I never felt like I wasn't getting as much from our friendship. She was always ready to find new ways to prove her friendship which surprised and amazed me sometimes. And I really appreciate the effort.
We were just two university students who had had very different life experiences and educational backgrounds before we met. We saw each other's weakness and strength in the course of working together, a friendship that I admire till today was born. We were good friends for two years and haven't communicated much since that time but we have had each other on our minds all this time.
I feel responsible the most for the fact that we didn't communicate much because I didn't reach out as much as she did to me.
I'm happy we got in touch again (she actually reached out to me and I'm grateful she did). I'm making efforts to keep in touch ever since. On some days I have nothing to say to her but a 'hi, how are you' goes a long way.
