One gone, another comes

Last month was a busy month. For the things that should have happened and the things that should not have.

I met Bblics but 3 times. All were with our other friends. We didn't get to catch up, just she and I. But, like she said, we are tested on distance and time. Tested and passed with flying colours, that is.

To be honest, I'm really proud of my best friend and the work that she's doing. Even though the work does take a big part of her away from everything else, especially her time with her family, which I know she really cherishes.

The passage of time has passed such that the longer I know her, the more I think there is, that I don't know about her. Yet, at the same time, the more I feel that our friendship is safe and dependable even when we don't have complete understanding about each other. Or maybe, it's precisely because we do not have complete understanding about each other. Trust and respect are definitely more important than complete understanding where we are concerned.

I guess, it says the same for a lot of my other friends too. Especially at a time when most of them are married or have entered mummyhood. It's getting difficult to see when dependability ends and complacency begins.

In this age of consumerism, just how much time is friendship entitled to consume? Everyone has a different answer. Perhaps, certain things, you know it to be there not because you can feel it. But, because you can still do something about it.

At this point in time, Kyn is back. We missed the 4 of us chatting and catching up together last month.

Just talking. That's our kind of contentment.
