We talk about weekend plans, homework, and the events we buy tickets to. We giggle (while cringing) about the social norms we both find weird. We both casually mention going to church, although we haven’t gone past casual yet. We’ve started waiting for each other.
It can be awkward to remember that we only met two months ago and in another three we could easily lose all contact again. It’s awkward, but I try not to let it scare me. Because I’ve learned that friendships are built in small moments like these.
In these moments, we are two humans, walking side by side for a few steps out of our crazy lives. Making a real connection. I think I’ve been underestimating how powerful this is.
Love your thoughts, Hanna. Friendships are so sweet. <3
SO relatable – and completely true. Loved reading your thoughts on this <3
Small moments, real connection, powerful.
And this is why I love people!
Yes!!! I’ve been thinking about this some lately, and it’s so funny I click on your blog and read this today!
What a motivational post!
You’re reminding us to not lose contact with people and really try and stay in touch and get involved in their lives and really open up to them!
What great post, Hanna. <3 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!!
(whoooa sorry, that was a lot of exclamation marks- but I'm exclaiming here!! ;P)
This is so profound, and came at just the right moment. Thanks for sharing, Hanna!
