It’s inevitable when you move away that you will loose touch with even those who you considered to be really close friends, but today I realized how evident that is. I only have 4 months left here, but that often feels like an eternity. My circle of friends back home that I talked to on a weekly, sometime daily basis, I may talk to once a month or once every other month, and not even talk, email. I barely see my mom any more, we communicate through short emails. The friends that I talked to casually I barely speak to anymore, I mean, what do we have to say to each other if we never see each other anymore. I know when I get back, things will be back to normal, but it feels like all of my ties, relationships are becoming so strained. Generic emails, facebook posts, one line text messages do not a friendship/family tie/relationship make.I just miss the damn intimacy of it all. Seeing, touching, talking to my fiance, picnicking with my best friend, veggin out with my LA homies, hiking with co workers…
The damn intimacy is on hiatus, does it ever truly come back with some people? Here’s to hoping it does.
