Friendship

There were a few events today that reminded me of the importance of friendship in life (not that I ever forget).

  • I spent a day and a half in Tampere with some very dear friends.  Even though they're not people I see very often, they are very dear to me, since they've been with me since my arrival in Finland and we've had quite some history together.  That they laugh at my stupid jokes is just a plus.
  • I agreed to meet a friend in Barcelona whom I haven't seen in 5 years or so.
  • My ex-girlfriend, with whom I am still in very good terms, found me again as we had lost touch for quite some time.  I'm glad to hear she's fine.
  • On a sadder note, I received a contact request from a person I have never met simply because, as her profile reads, she moved to a new city and is feeling rather lonely.  I'm really sorry I can't be of no use, as I don't add contacts I don't actually know (the Myspace approach is so out of vogue…).
