Phones

 Phones are nice things.

You can be hundreds of miles away from someone, but if you give them a call, you can hear their voice and talk as if you were with them. Obviously, being with someone is always better, but phones help to bridge the distance. 

I used to hate talking on the phone because it scared me. I didn't know what to say or how to act, but I've learned that you just talk, and it's OK if there are silences. That actually happens to me a lot now. Silent moments. 

But, good friends know how to enjoy one another's company even in silence.
