Hey there! I hope you are doing well. I apologize for the radio silence over the past few weeks. Things have been hectic for me. And in case you are wondering, it has been all good, mostly. I had a lot of things planned for all of last month, what with it being the birthday of my most favorite "fictional" character. While those plans fell through, I did do something special. I did a serialized review of all the movies in the Harry Potter franchise. While that wasn't what I had initially thought, I'd do, I ended up loving it. But more on that later.
This one will probably end up sounding like an extended thank you note. So in case you get bored, please bear with me. This year has given me a lot of things that I will be thankful for. It wasn't really a good year for me when it began, however, I have learned to be grateful for every little thing I have. One of those very many things is what I feel is my greatest asset. My friends.
If you know me, you might know that I don't have many friends. So the ones I have I treasure them with all my heart. This year would have probably turned out very differently had these people not been there. And you guys, you know who you are, you are my number one(s)! It was a rocky start but you guys made sure that I made it alright. You know I am not really good at expressing how I feel, so I'll let my words do the talking.
Thank you for listening to my self-doubts and soothing me late at night, even when you had to wake up early. Thank you for turning up unannounced and making a not-so-very-good day into my best birthday ever. Thank you for helping me meet my deadlines while you missed yours. Thank you for staying there for my ramblings and not judging me. Thank you for giving me a running commentary of the match when I was not able to do so. Thank you for the insane watch parties and a million conversations that shouldn't exist but happened anyway. And thank you for those lengthy late-night calls when I am kinda losing my mind.
So this got me thinking how do I know if we are friends? And how can I possibly tell that we are now not just friends but "close" friends, probably best friends even? It's been a few hours since I started writing this and I haven't figured out the best way to define it all. I remember I accidentally came across a friend I had lost touch with, almost a decade ago while using a UPI app and how despite us having never met each other, things fell right back on track, the moment we started talking. There is this bunch of awesome people who tease the hell out of me, every time we talk, I haven't met them but we would most definitely have each other's backs, no matter what. When I think about all these people in my life, I keep thinking, is it destiny, is it good fortune, or is it sheer luck that we came across each other?
No matter what were the circumstances that brought us together when I think about these special human beings who have kept the sanity alive in me, I feel like I must have done something right. Like I said earlier, these amazing people, you know who you are, this one is for you. Let us smile, laugh, fight, argue, and love loads, and no matter how many miles keep us apart, let us just be there for each other.
Like I always do, I promise I will be back with the next one, real soon! Also, if you liked it, show some love and subscribe! Show some love people, it is free!
I will see you next time, till then, stay safe and take care.
Love,
Dia
