I've always felt pretty down about not having friends at work since no one was in my age group. It’s hard to relate to people when your mentalities are miles apart, right? Just when I thought I'd have to get used to being the odd one out, something happened out of the blue!
I was assigned a project, and my boss for the project was a senior official who was nearly two decades older than me. I had never met her before, but when I started working with her, we clicked almost immediately—something that I hadn't been able to do with my other colleagues even after being with them for eight years. Despite the age difference, our vibes matched perfectly...it felt like I had found a close friend—someone who truly got me. It was such a relief to finally have somebody at work who understood my random jokes and quirky thoughts.
Gradually our bond extended beyond work - we spent time joking & chatting (yeah, she's my boss), discussing on what to order for lunch, gossiping about colleagues, sharing spicy news and whatnot!
As time passed, I realized that age and background certainly doesn't define friendship, but mindset does. It’s all about the connection and comfort you feel with somebody.
This unusual relationship has taught me that life is full of surprises. Sometimes, the best things happen when you’re not even looking for them...you just need to keep your mind and soul open for changes. As Dumbledore had correctly said, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
So, here's to unpredicted friendships and those unplanned connections that brighten up our lives when we least expect it 🥂
And to anyone out there feeling a bit lonely at work—keep your heart open, you never know when you might just stumble upon a person who is nothing short of a sister from another mister !
