Reconnecting with Old Friends for Emotional Support

Reconnecting to a friend I have known since we were teenagers. We had a conversation about where we were in general with relationships and just life in general and it made me realize that one of my closest friends that I've known for a while even though her experience is different, we are dealing with the same thing from past relationships. I know sometimes my emotions can be overwhelming for my mind. I don't expect anything except friendship tbh. But the mind does wonder. I think reconnecting gave us both a place of comfort to rely on when we need a space to be ourselves without judgment
