Age matters not a whit in your friendships. “But she is old enough to be my mother.” “But he is too young to pal around with.” Where do you get such ideas? Friendship is a great gift. Your culture tells you one thing about age and your heart tells you another. All friendships are about resonance. Like two notes played together in perfect harmony, you know resonance with another when you feel it. Now, why would you deprive yourselves of creating a beautiful tune because one note has been playing longer or shorter than another?
You all have been experiencing life far longer than you are aware. Time matters only as a great teacher. Your friends are oft your greatest teachers. Sometimes a younger being in in human form is quite old in spirit “time” with much to teach another, and the opposite can be true as well. Worry yourself not about the lessons or the age. Simply enjoy the resonance known as friendship and grow for a while together.
