feeling validated, heard, seen and acknowledged in a friendship is so important. it's the most beautiful feeling i think. being able to tell someone the most private feelings, exposing yourself at the most vulnerable, and being met with empathy, understanding, an confirmation that you're not just being whiny, spoiled, ungrateful, or any of the other self-deprecating things you tell yourself you are when you're breaking down. to have someone bring you back to reality when you're busy minimising your struggles, yeah, that's really beautiful and it's truthful. someone who sees you where you are exactly as you are, not better or worse. just you. that's so important in a friendship. definitely the most beautiful feeling.
. . . she listens with an intensity that I find weirdly flattering.

Interests Shared
Vacant stares and patronising looks,
People ignoring the enjoyment it took,
Of course I latch on to honest questions,
Wish to know more of people like that.
Just recognising a simple thing
And letting us talk from there on out.
Welcome to curiosity
So thrilled yours is parallel to mine
Let’s learn and grow together now.
It’s been so long since I managed to,
So long since sharing my interests
That I’ve learnt to be quiet
And can’t always recognise them reaching back,
But and interest shared is a gift
One I long to cherish once more.
I Wasn’t Trying to Argue, I Was Trying to Be Heard
