Some friendships are loud and obvious. Others are quiet, rare, and so genuine that you only realize their value when life tests you. This is about one of those rare friendships. She came all the way from Indonesia to Singapore just to see me and that alone says more than a thousand words ever could. In a world where people are always busy, always rushing, always distracted, finding someone who makes time for you feels almost unreal. Genuine friendship is hard to find. The kind that lasts forever is even harder. Most people don’t have time to listen. They hear you, but they don’t listen. But she listens, always. With patience. With care. Without judgment. Most people don’t want to help. They step back when things get hard. But she steps forward every single time. Helping not because she has to, but because she genuinely wants to. She is one of the kindest people I know. I once said that I have a wall around my life, a wall that protects me and keeps people at a distance. Not many can...

This is about one of those rare friendships.

Genuine friendship is hard to find. The kind that lasts forever is even harder.
Most people don’t have time to listen.
They hear you, but they don’t listen.
But she listens, always.
With patience. With care. Without judgment.
Most people don’t want to help.
They step back when things get hard.
But she steps forward every single time.
Helping not because she has to, but because she genuinely wants to.
She is one of the kindest people I know.
I once said that I have a wall around my life, a wall that protects me and keeps people at a distance. Not many can get past it. Not many even try.
But somehow, she walked right in.
Effortlessly. Naturally.
Because she is real with me.
Because her intentions are pure.
Because she never pretends to be someone she’s not.
Not everyone understands me.
In fact, most people don’t.
But she understands me, sometimes even more than I understand myself. She sees through my silence, reads between my words, and feels what I don’t always know how to express.
That kind of understanding is rare.
That kind of connection is priceless.
I don’t know when we’ll see each other again, but I truly hope it’s soon. Distance may separate countries, but it has never separated our bond.
This is my quiet thank you.
For listening.
For helping.
For being kind.
For crossing borders, both physical and emotional, just to be there.
True friendship like this doesn’t come often.
And when it does, you hold on to it forever.
