skyping with tan makes the distance seem so much closer. it's weird to see her through a screen and feel as though we are right across from each other. but once the call hangs up, it's as if that dimension closes, and i'm alone in my room again. but i'm thankful though, and always reminded of the friends that have walked with me through the many years, and chosen to stick through things with me even though i may not be the easiest, or the most fun person to be with at times. distance is a weird thing, it separates, yet brings together. i wonder if we will all be in the same country again eventually. maybe. maybe not. but i'll take whatever comes - be it just days that we have together when we're all at home, or travelling to visit each other, or just conversations over skype, or text, or whatsapp. i'll take whatever.
