Do you remember when you were a kid, and it could be as simple as this? You meet someone, feel connected, want to be friends, ask them, and just like that...you become friends. Maybe for months, years, and decades to come! Cultivating the intimacy that only resides within a friendship, navigating conflict, and making new friends can enrich human life from our earliest memories to our final days.
