All in One friend — Does exist?
Childhood friendships are considered to transcend all life. I would say they do, but only if you all evolve together or make efforts to understand each other to some extent in the journey.
I made and lost a lot of friendships, perhaps because of an illusionary concept of that friend who has it all. This person understands and connects with me with all the stuff that I would connect with. I recently realized that no one can be all in one. Pardon me, all the people who crossed my paths and considered to be in close quarters with me and whom I might have spurned by some action or word of mine.
Now, I can connect with people in the field they are interested in and not necessarily/need to understand other aspects of mine. So there is a set of people with whom I can drink and talk of familiar people with whom we would have crossed paths ( Yes, Gossiping! What a great pastime when done with the correct set). Then, there are some with whom I can share my thoughts, and I know there would be no judgments and that I would be heard. Some are to catch up over food; we order loads of food and taste all, and maybe 50% of the ordered would be doggy-packed. Then there are some with whom memes are shared, and we connect at the “virtual-soul” level as we want to believe when nothing in detail about a person is known. There is a set who can be cajoled into reading whatever I write about, and I can demand that 3 minutes from them. We could be in the same space, not talk, but be with each other. Giving all the space both need. So, such friendships also exist; I know of them the most.
Isn’t it too much to ask from a single person to be all of the above?
