Conversations with long lost friends...

I enjoy talking on the phone or conversing with friends. I love hanging out and just talking about random things most especially if its about life in general.

I finally spoke to a friend whom I haven't spoken to in about 8 months. He's been a good friend ever since high school and we've always carried great conversations. We can have endless conversations about anything and everything under the sun. You'd think that after quite sometime that would fade but after a 2 1/2 hour conversation with him a while ago I guess not.

The reason why I'm blogging about this is that I guess its not everyday that you get to talk to people in this level. I mean, I speak to my husband everyday and yes, we have awesome conversations that I know only the two of us will share; however, I'm talking about other people in our lives. Sure, I have that one friend (or two) who I can talk to about anything and I don't have to hold back. But you know that person, whom you haven't seen in so long and then you catch up with them and then instead of catching up, you end up gossiping about your common friends and what's up with them and THEIR lives. After that conversation, you realize, "What the heck does that person do again?" My conversation with that friend wasn't at all like that. He shared about his current situation in life and what he's been up to. We talked about what he's learned in life and what he hopes to achieve. I shared with him the same and if it hadn't been for the long distance bill and for other responsibilities, we would've been talking until morning.

It was probably because we haven't spoken in a while and we had quite a bit to talk about. But I find it very rare even with friends I haven't seen in so long to carry a conversation without ending up with just gossiping. Maybe I have just been deprived of deep and meaningful conversations. And having had that conversation a while ago was good for my soul.

Just random stuff...
