Friendship Stories 7, From Sharing Snacks to Sharing Stories
Today's episode, the final one of the Friendship Stories series, is a manifestation and testimony to a bromance long endeared.
Amir and I have been best friends for almost a decade and today we sit to reflect on and reminisce memories of a Friendship that started long distanced and has continued so for the past 9 years. We talk about what has made this bond survive through multiple challenges, misunderstandings and distance, how this Friendship has helped us evolve into better versions of ourselves, and the importance of listening and willingness to learn about one another.
Brace yourself for that and many more while enjoying your scrumptious evening tea and thank you once again for listening to Tea Buddies!
