Your conversation flows effortlessly, peppered with shared laughter, inside jokes and reminiscing about the good old days – and a fair bit of ‘goss’. It’s also stepping back in time, when friendship was an anchor and the world full of possibilities and silly concerns. Meeting up again becomes a sudden rupture in ho-hum time.
In the very first few exchanges, both of you realise that nothing much has changed, and you can easily pick up where you left off years ago. But life’s updates are crucial. So, the conversation turns into a Q&A session, each of you hungry for information about the other. Once the initial updates are over, the furious chit-chat moves to people from the once-common pool of friends.
With each message exchanged, it becomes clear that this reunion is more than just a chance random encounter. It’s a gift – a reminder of the precious connections that shape our lives and stand the test of time.
