Hello everyone
Yesterday was an interesting day. I skipped running because I had to see one of my friends. I went to see Parisa. Parisa is technically my oldest friend. I actually don’t know when we first met up and became friends. But we’ve been friends since early childhood.
Parisa’s parents were MDs, and mine were teachers. They were our neighbors. We spent a good amount of time together for years. She went to music classes. I went there too. She went to English classes. I went there too, but skipped most sessions. She was one of my good friends in those days. Her family left the town and went to live in another city. A year later, we left the town too.
That was when we almost lost contact. Back then, none of us had cell phones or emails; we were kids. It was a complete silence. Fast forward 15 years, and one night, my uncle called me and said he had found Parisa! How he found her is a whole other story. Let’s save it for later. We got in touch again in October 2019.
We met up in a cafe and hung out for a few hours. There was a lot to catch up. She had grown up, but her face hadn’t changed a bit. We talked a lot, took a selfie, said goodbye, and went our separate ways. Then covid came, and we didn’t see each other for a long while. We were in touch, but no meet-ups.
Last night, I went over to see her. She’s leaving to study abroad in a month. It’s a weird feeling. She’s my oldest friend, yet we haven’t spent much time together. That little time we shared, we were through much. And now, we’re losing touch again. Our friendship has never meant to be too deep for long. Or have we cautiously chosen not to? I’ve been a bit puzzled over this since this morning.
We had a night of passion. I don’t have her consent to talk about it in more detail, nor do I want to share x-rated stuff on my blog! But I can say that it was a fun night. We didn’t talk about our feelings for one another. We dodged our emotions by discussing superficial subjects. Our eyes communicated so many untold words and sentences when we said goodbye this morning, but our lips only uttered, “goodbye, take care.”
Human relations are so complicated. I wish we had been reunited in a better time and place. Then suddenly, I remind myself that this time and place might be the best time and place. I hope to see her soon. She’s off to a new, adventurous life. Who knows what life serves us? Maybe I go to her new place to see her. And there’s this massive race which is on my bucket list. I might see her and do that race. It would be awesome. 2024 already looks surprisingly exciting.
About today, I didn’t do much. I organized my files, tidied up my room, cleaned up some mess, and thought about the future of BluLexi. Tomorrow’s the day for the new version of BluLexi. I’m so excited about it. It’s getting into shape, I guess. As Gaga says, “we don’t know how to rhyme but damn we try.”
Let’s give BluLexi all I have and see what it becomes
Love you people
