Have you ever met someone and you just instantly "get" one another? Whether you started talking to each other right away or the moment presented itself at some later time, but you suddenly realize that they understand you? I mean, like they know how you feel and why you feel the way you do, because they've been through similar circumstances themselves?

I'm a very private person, I don't speak freely about a lot of my life history. I'm very selective who I open up to, but once in a very great while I just connect with someone and it's like "instant friendship." It's really a euphoric feeling when you feel very alone and isolated in certain aspects of your life, and sometimes *BANG* it happens and suddenly someone's there holding your hand and telling you they know just how you feel. And you're just there for each other.

It's been a long time since I've connected with someone like that. I'm not even talking about romance, just that special kind of friendship that you consider yourself lucky to come across once every 10-15 years (or at least, in my case).

I've just been feeling really, really happy about this the past couple of days and thought I'd share. If you've ever experienced this yourself, count yourself lucky and cherish that friendship, let the person know how much you appreciate them.

P.S. For those wondering, no, my meds have not been recently adjusted. Just really glad to feel something I haven't felt in a long time.
