I was having a hard time falling asleep last night, was still quiet awake at 1am. As I tried to force myself to sleep, my phone rang. It was my friend J from Taiwan. I wrote about reconnecting with her in my Blog few weeks ago (http://www.wretch.cc/blog/longlonglin&article_id=6548204). I've meant to call her for two weeks now. Every time when I tried to pick up the phone, I hesitated. To be fully honest, I was a bit afraid to make that call. After all, we haven’t spoken to each other for years, our lives most likely have gone so many different directions since last time we spoke. Yes, we were best friends before, but it has been a long time ago. I am not sure if the connection between us is still there. What am I going to say to her? How can I summarize my 7-8 years of life into a 10 minute conversation? Will she be able to relate to me? I was anxious.
My pessimistic attitude has been proven to be totally wrong. We filled each other in with what’s going on in our lives, and picked up some old past memories. It was just like the old time. Back then it was two teenager girls sitting at the café shared with each other their big dreams for the futures. Fifteen years later, it’s two professional adults shared their joy, heartbreaks and the dreams they still have via a long distance phone call across Pacific Ocean. The great thing is that although the method of sharing or dreams might be totally different, but the feeling of the true friendship and closeness has not changed.
