Friendships form via shared context, not shared activities by Bill Mei
An interesting article that goes through the author’s experience on making friends. I believe there is always something to learn from other’s experiences. There’s only a limited set of experiences we can have through-out our lifetime, and the easiest way to navigate through life is to pick up the bits and pieces of wisdom from others.
Here’s my favourite excerpt from the article,
“In working so hard to become independent, we forget how much satisfaction we get from the sense that others depend on us, and the meaning we can create by allowing ourselves to be dependent on others—if only we have the courage to let them help us.”
Have a good week, and remember to take it easy! 🤍
Thanks for reading this week’s issue of 1.1.1. If you enjoyed what you read, I’d really appreciate it if you could forward it to a friend, family member, or colleague who you think might like it too.
Or, if you'd like to share it on one of your social networks, that’s always great as well.
Until next week,
Love this!
