However, it is very unfortunate that all of these friends are either in a different country or a different state. Today, I spent an hour talking to a friend who is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I have not talked to him in person for 3 years. And today I finally got to hear his voice again. Three years of no communication and we were able to just talk for like an hour plus, just like the good old times. Granted, I was helping him with something so we had something to talk about. But during the conversation, he would still share stories of his time in the army, filling up the time gap that we missed during our no communication.
These are the kind of friends I need to be around. People who can lean on each other. Here at Berkeley, I'm just a leaning post. I'm the supportive one, the one who takes care of those who need it. And that's ok. But I need a support pole for myself too. And I've decided that I'm not going to waste my time looking for one here because I simply just don't care.
I will just look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, where I will be in the same location as my support poles.
