To everyone I might’ve lost along the way
Being a university student, I’ve come into contact with a lot of people. Some I’ve talked to endlessly, and it’s shown in our friendship. Some benefited from a move in schools, as it brought either back together, or simply together for the first time. I’ve made recent good friends within a couple weeks, and some have been around for years now.
But, this post is not about those people.
This post is about everyone I haven’t talked to recently. Those people I had a couple of intimate conversations with, but now rarely see. The people I called best friends but yet, haven’t spoken a word for some time. Those I see walking through the hallways, but never have enough time to stop and chat, because catching up is never that short, and it would be rude otherwise to try and cut it short.
I hope you are doing well. From what I’ve seen of your 100-second Snapchat stories, or your Instagram posts, it looks like you’re having fun. I guess, because you’re enjoying life like you are, I’m not so worried.
However that’s not to say I haven’t thought about you recently. In fact, I wish I had more time. Looking ahead to my winter break, I have nearly three weeks of holidays, and even if all those days were free, I still wouldn’t have enough time to properly catch up with everyone I should.
On top of that, scheduling isn’t perfect. Gone are the days where all you had to do to go hang out with someone was make sure it was okay with both moms (or whatever guardian was present at the time). Nearly everybody has a job now, plus other potential commitments like volunteering, sports, relationship, and family. To find a free day that isn’t just an hour can sometimes be a miracle.
So just know that, while I get me together, I’m thinking of you. I’m remembering why I call you my friend, and why I’d like to pick it up again. I look forward to new messages, and pictures that feature me as well, and to once again know exactly what’s up, without ever having to ask.
