One friend I absolutely love talking to is Roba. We have been friends for several years now. We met during our undergraduate program and since then we both are inseparable. Well, one thing which we absolutely love talking about is our personal growth because we both strongly believe that one should always focus and improve themselves. So our conversations are never made up. They just flow naturally. We talk about our personal growth, our personal experiences, exchange life, advice, career perspective as well. And sometimes we go down the memory lane and cherish our beautiful memories together. Ending day on a very good note and a good laughter. Besides this, what we like to talk, why I like to talk to her is because how honest she is and she is an amazing listener. She always gives me a new perspective to my opinion and challenges my thought of school, which always make room for more learning. I have learned a lot from her and no matter what our conversation is about, she will always teach me one thing or two and that’s something which I value most about her and about our friendship is how honest and transparent one could be in this relationship. In the end of the day, I am grateful for this friendship because she is not just an amazing friend but an amazing person and she is a gift in anyone’s life. I feel like we should always value our friendships and people we love most by appreciating their existence and always reminding them how much we love them and that’s what I actually truly feel for her as well. No matter where we are, we both know that we can count on each other in our hard times. We can count on each other during our hard times or in our good times and that’s something very strong to have.
