It’s heartening to know friendships truly matter. I met my friend today for the first time in more than 7 years. It was strange to see each other, but invigorating to catch up and spend time together. He reminded me why Cape Town is so special. South Africa is a rainbow country my friend. This is a unique place, and for what it’s worth, I would stay too.

Today reinforced something simple: what you say to people matters. The bonds you forge are strong and lasting. People remember. If we’re good to each other, we’ll positively impact each other, and we’ll meet again. Sometimes there’s no greater reward, because it strengthens our meaning in this world. What we do matters, so let’s do good.
