During this festive season, I naturally find myself gravitating towards more and more good company. This occurrence, tiring though it may be, excites me and reminds me of the beauty of friendships.

A good friend from overseas is now staying with me for slightly more than a week. We travelled the cities of Europe together and even before that, endured four fabulous years of university life together. Having her with me gives me so much honour, and I am humbled by the intimacy of such a great friendship. We have also been meeting up with a few other good friends who are residents of Melbourne, and this conglomeration of love and understanding never fails to touch my heart. Different lives and different personalities, but true friendship brings people together in such a special way.

It'd be midnight on a weekday and we'd be sitting at a train station, talking about the night stars and wonders beyond.
It'd be past midnight and we'd be sitting on outdoor cushions sipping red wine, talking about murphy's law.
It'd be nine in the morning and we'd be eating omelettes in the jungle, talking about how twisted the human race is.
We'd be stuffed to the brim but at a chocolate bar nevertheless drinking frappes and eating spanish donuts, talking about innovations and creative energies.

Good company makes me feel so safe. So incredibly happy, and validated. That even though there is such much bad in this world, there is still so much good that makes things worth my while. So touched and thankful to have such people in my life to be there for me.

I love you, my angels.

Take care.
