The gift of time is so precious and it is priceless. I am more than willing to give my time to the person who needs comfort. I am willing to listen to something that bothers them. It can be in person or virtual. I have a friend since high school, she's the only child in her family. When her parents worked in Japan, her grandma became her guardian and she live with her cousins. We became close since then.

She has a boyfriend so she just call me when she wants to share about her work in Japan regarding her toxic workmates most of the time. I understand the feeling of venting out so I am just actively listening to whatever she wants to tell me. She is like my elder sister as I am the eldest so she is like elder sister figure to me. We can talk about different topics, various issues not only in the Philippines or Japan but also in any part of the world. We took the same program in college, International Studies actually I was influenced by her to enroll it. She was one of the reason why I shifted to this course from Social Service program on which I majored in Care for Older Persons.

The gift of time is what I can offer to someone who needs active listener.

It is so easy to not take the time, let alone actively listening to someone who really needs a sounding board. A very worthwhile gift! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

The gift of time is special.
Being a volunteer Moderator here on Hive does require a gift or talent to be a friend to the writer. Fully reading the article and provide meaningful feedback or acknowledgement especially when there is common ground. We may not likely solve problems but most of the time your 'voice is heard'.
It's good as a !HUG

Time is one of the best gifts that one can give, but sad to say that some coconut head persons will not understand. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Good one sister. Your friend appreciates your time that's why she kept calling you. Weldon.

It really takes a lot to actually get someone to open up with their personal issues and challenges of life. Unless that person is really close to you.

You're a good friend, having the time to listen to your friend takes a lot of patience. Your bond is incredibly adorable.

The best gift we can give is truly our time especially in this busy world. It feels so good to have someone listen to us vent and share about our bad and good day without judgment.
