DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIPS?

If yes,

Then this story is a treat for you✨

I’ve constantly aspired to be a solopreneur, and diving into the world of freelancing and remote work has always been my ambition.

Yet, there’s been a nagging concern that this path might isolate me and might lead to solitude, without the comforting presence of friends or a support system.

but guess what

The truth didn’t match my preconceived notion,

Recently,

I’ve made a valuable friend here on Medium✨

Universe has always a way of bringing unexpected friendships into our journey.

I was simply enjoying and appreciating the content created by a girl and didn’t know it would evolve into a lifelong connection.

Both of us knew that we share the same vibes, and we immediately formed a deep and meaningful bond.

Since the Medium does not give messaging option,

I sent her a note and then she replied and somehow she managed to get my email address,

I was glad to receive her email, a friendly email, not a formal business or project-related one.

We agreed to communicate via LinkedIn but there was some glitch that took us a day to resolve.

Eventually,

We managed to establish a connection on LinkedIn and Twitter ✨

We started sharing our writing journey, discussing growth opportunities, life stories, and whatnot.

Within just a few days,

She became a beacon of motivation, generously offering assistance and radiating positivity every day, and illuminated a path of optimism and good vibes ✨

Life’s twists and turns bring us the beautiful surprise of unexpected friendships, that add vibrant colours to our lives ✨

Encountering kind people who selflessly offer support, expecting nothing in return, is rare. When you discover these exceptional souls cherish and value them, for they are truly precious ✨

This friendship is something I’ll always treasure ✨
