Just like that

Your worries don't go away when something new or different happens. But it it may just breathe a little bit of fresh air into areas of your mind and heart that were feeling dark and stagnant.

I am grateful for the chance to briefly catch up with an acquaintance from a very long time ago that I have always liked for some reason I could never quite put my finger on. We haven't spoken in over 20 years. But he gave me understanding about something that just happened in my life. He had just been through something similar. And for a minute, I didn't feel so alone.
