Do you have "lifetime" friends? The kind you can contact after a month or a year or even longer, and you pick right back up where you left off?

For Vanessa, Cole Magrini is one of those friends. They've known each other for over a decade and have the kind of rapport that only comes with long familiarity and deep, mutual affection.

Relationships like these are so important -- they're the family we choose, and who choose us.

In this podcast, Vanessa, Cole, and Noelle talk about the importance of friendship and how friends ground us even as we grow and change.

But even connections like these need attention. If you haven't talked to a long-time friend in a while, it's time to reconnect. Grab your phone, fire up the Chances App, and make a date to do an activity together! 

Have a Zoom call, play an online game, grab dinner at a restaurant that practices safe social distancing, go out for a run together, talk into the wee hours of the morning, the way you used to. Whatever you do together, enjoy rediscovering someone you've known forever.
