I wrote yesterday how an old friend messaged me and we picked up right where we left off. There’s a lot of people who have friends like that, theyu can not talk to someone for years and then just pick up right where they left off. My mother did that with my aunt a few years ago (not blood related sisters). I can do that with my friend Brett, too. I haven’t talked to him in a few months, but we always seem to pick up where we left off.
I have other friends, though, that I don’t speak to anymore and that is because we don’t really have anything to say. It is almost like there is a spiritual connection to those people whom we can just pick up with after so long. Our spiritual siblings, would probably be a somewhat good term to use right? I mean when you have a brother or a sister and you’ve known them your whole life you can come back and still be family, the same thing with these spiritual siblings, you can pick up right where you left off and not miss a beat.
Now how can you tell if you have one of these spiritual siblings? Well if there is someone who you can hang out with and not have any awkward silences, or be uncomfortable with. They are the ones where you are comfortable the first time meeting them no matter what the situation might be. They are the ones that you can spend six hours on the phone with and want to get off, because it only feels like 10 minutes.
If you have someone in your life like this, then they are probably a spiritual sibling.
Wow, you’re really lucky to have someone like that. I don’t think I do. Sure, I have my friends, and they’re great, but they’re not without their awkward silences or boring phone conversations. I suppose the closest I had to a spiritual sibling moved away a few years ago.
