To underrated adulthood friendships

I had started writing this blog guess a decade or more back because of the motivation of one of my friend and now after a decade I have been wanting to go back to writing but had many excuses not to, however again its a friend that motivated me back to writing. 

The adulthood friendships are so underrated and yet its these friends who play an  important role in guiding and shaping you to the person you become. I feel these friendships' are underrated because, as kids you have less inhibition, less opinions and don't know what boundary and with no care in the world (in most cases), however as we grow up, we have build a fortress around us, to help us navigate life smoothly, and these friends enter our lives, break down our barriers, heal our wounds, make us laugh and of course annoy us but give us life lessons and help us evolve. 

What I find so interesting is some folks you meet in life, you instantly connect and it feels as though our souls always knew each other from another life and then these strangers become friends and then before you even realize they become part of your extended family. 

And then there are those, at least in my case, I take a strong dislike to - just my gut feeling, and then when I reprimand myself and decide to know the person better, I most times give myself a mental kick for not listening to my gut which is filled with healthy bacteria and knows way more than my brain :)

Well thanks Pupun for pushing me to write today, however bad the post is, I am grateful for writing it.
