once concluded that technology is my pen’s greatest rival though, that conclusion still failed to abstain me from designing a simulated beach house and harvesting crops from one of my too many virtual farms. Shoving that aside, technology did a lot of good connecting me with people from the past and of expunging the bad seeds planted once. Emma, my childhood friend, whom I have not seen or spoken to for the last seven years, was one of the very many I am so happy to get in touch with again.
Re-connecting back with her was like a breath of fresh air. I mean, after years and years abroad finding friends who trust me and whom I can fully trust, here is one who still does. What I love about our friendship is though we have been separated for the longest, talking with her was the easiest thing in the world. It is as if those seven years were nonexistent. Things definitely changed in our lives but our friendship remains a haven of pure laughter, loyalty, stories and fun. Despite all the mistakes we’ve made then and now, we look not with eyes of judgement or condemnation of the other. There’s no hint of competition, of whose life’s better than who, whose smarter than who, whose much traveled than who. She is happy for me as I am happy for her. Her triumphs are my triumphs, and her sorrows are mine. There is only but friends, reminiscing the past and planning to see each other in the future.
