Convos with a Stranger r Easy..,pt. 1

Have you ever meet the right person at the right time for the right reason? Let me make myself more clear. Have you ever had an amazing conversation with a stranger? Why is it that some of us feel that we are more comfortable talking to complete strangers,random friends, co-workers with a listening ear as opposed to our friends. Some would say that statement should cause you to re-evaluate your so called friends to that point I could not fully disagree. But for me some of the most intimate honest conversations in recent weeks have been with a 'new friend who I've probably had 4 face-to-face conversations with. The whole time we talked most recently I wondered to myself why am I (someone who is admittedly paranoid, skeptical, and introverted at times) having this revealing vulnerable conversation with this woman. I came up with a number of answers but this one sits best with me for the time being. I felt at home with this person because there was no air of expectancy, no prior constructions of who I really am or might be, no need to impress. I felt as if this person provided an atmosphere of genuine, honesty & love something that sad as it is to admit I don't have with most of my long time friends. I sat for hours talking with this newly developed friend as if they were the family or friend I've always wanted tried to create and never completely found. I hate to ramble so I will not harp on the freshness of our relationship but rather the elements that make what we have so beautiful. There was a mutual (high) level of trust. (God only knows how, after so short a time but it was there). These conversations have caused me to re-evaluate the way I interact with my friends. I don't want to be superficial with people who I consider family because after a while we will drift away and wonder what happened. The charge is to eliminate atmospheres of indifference with loved ones and either make an investment or let someone else do it...not to be harsh but really just to let people know where I stand.
