Perth Holiday
It is great to be back in Perth catching up with old friends. It warms the heart very much.
Making new friends is important, but keeping the old friendships is more important.
They have stood the test of time, they allow for mutual recollection of important defining moments in life, like opening a photo album and flicking through pictures of cherished moments in time. Times that define you and, as much as we sometimes wish it weren't true, it is equally comforting that they know and understand you well, have seen you rise and fall, win and lose, and remember times you've forgotten. There is a vulnerability that only has a privelege in a friend you've had for years, the kind of vulnerability that is safe around someone you've known for a long time.
A good friendship is a diamond, rough to start but polished to perfection over time.
