Friends reunited

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it takes to maintain relationships over long distances.

It's interesting, at first i was viewing it like it's something new to me. Now i realise it's something i've been doing for the past 7 years. I haven't always got it right, and sometimes i have let important people drift away. But this week i had some nice reminders of how it can work really well.
  • In June i'm flying to the UK to attend the wedding of one of my best friends from my home town. We've seen eachother only twice in the last 3 years. But still it was important for me to be able to go, and still she was thrilled to know i'll be able to make it
  • I had an exciting phone call from this guy, whom i should see a bit more of next year
  • I chatted with this girl, who again showed that she's not afraid of taking on a new challenge
  • I caught up with this girl, whom i'll be seeing again in Turkey
  • This girl told me about her exciting opportunities for the future
  • Wetalked about the summer, about making decisions, and about random stuff :)
  • And it always feels good to celebrate victory with the girl in the picture :)

I've heard people say the world is getting smaller.

Or maybe my arms are getting longer :)

not being in touch all the time doesn't mean that realations suffer. there is a saying i really like:
a lot of people step into your life but only a few leave some marks in your heart!
if you have friendships like that time and distance doesn't matter anymore!
Hope to see you soon too

Hey my dear robbie!

I miss you much! Can we talk sometime soon?

By the way, you noticed that my current location is not quite Bangkok, Thailand anymore, right? ;-) It's more like Bern, Switzerland. But maybe after waiting a whole year, you might just also wait 12 more days and then you can change it to Cairo, Egypt! :-D
So excited I'll get there soon!
And sooooo excited to see you soon in Turkey!

Hugs

one of these girls... :-D
