It's all kinds of amazing that I woke up this morning to a call... FROM CHINA!!!
One of my closest friends, whom I have known since High School and who is, I believe, the only person from back then I keep in touch with, called me today.
He moved to China a year and a half ago. Although we stay in touch via e-mail (at which I suck, but still), it's been six years since I saw him last (incidentally, this is how long it has been since I last went "home") and perhaps, he called me once or twice in the years between my last visit and his relocation.
The amazing thing is, apart from the fact that someone called me from China, that talking is as easy and comfortable as always.
I suck at communicating oh so much, but the point is, and I have always firmly believed this, that friendships that are meant to, do last forever. I guess what I am trying to say is that, even if I don't stay in touch, my people are my people no matter what. They are never far from my mind and my heart and the minute I hear their voice again, time and distance disappear instantly and completely.
That, and the fact that I currently feel quite loved because this morning Gabriel called me from China.
