QUESTION
Community and Connection
How did checking in with someone strengthen your relationship or provide support? How did it feel to reach out and connect?
Sometimes, I get caught up in my own little world. It was nice hitting up friends I hadn't seen in a while. We caught up on life and reminisced about our hangouts in high school. It felt like nothing had changed in the sense that no matter how long we spent time apart, we still click like we always did. I feel like that's the beauty of friendship. Meanwhile, some people are hanging on a thread to keep their friendships alive... LOL
