They don’t call you often. They’re busy, not just with work but with everything else. They have people who need them, tasks that demand their effort, families and responsibilities. Some days, they barely have time to breathe.
But when they do come up for air, they call you. You talk for an hour, sometimes more. They pour it all out, recharge, and then return to their lives. Do you know who you are to them – a safe place.
They know you will be there for them even if they don’t talk to you every day, week, or month. You’ll be the same when they come back. You’re a low-maintenance friend. They know they can come to you when they don’t feel okay.
And how does that make you feel? Honored. Because in a world where everyone wants attention, being someone’s quiet comfort is rare. Being the person they come back to — not because they have to, but because they trust you with who they really are, and this is something to cherish. And for you, that is enough.
