Could you tell me a time you felt close to someone?

My roommate and I had ended up living together sort of by accident, there was a big group of us and I didn’t know him well but we ended up being put together. For a few months we chatted, cooked and ate but I never felt that close to him. About six months in, he seemed normal except he barely left the flat, missed classes at uni and never wanted to be that social - I asked him about it but he always said he was just tired. A couple of months after that began, we were up late playing Fifa and we got talking about family. It’s then that he told me his mum has terminal brain cancer and that’s why he never had the energy to do much. It seemed like a small thing at the time but after that we became so much closer. I told him things that I and my family had gone through, and those moments of vulnerability completely changed our relationship. We have been so much closer since and can talk about anything. For some people it can be really hard to get over that hurdle of sharing your issues, but it is so worth it. Now, a year on I know we will be friends for life.
