Letter to all my Long Distance Buddies (well the most amazing ones only :p )
Today as I sit in the corner of my room thinking about all my "know-them-till-you-die" type of friends there is one really sad thing that I realise that no matter how hard we might try not to lose track of one another but the biggest hurdle in our case shall be the long distance. Hey buddy while we were so busy tagging BFF we forgot to think about those times when we shall be in different cities, when our priorities will change, responsibilities over-power and time shall be our biggest enemy. And while we were lost in bitching about almost everyone on this planet, we forgot to discuss about days when distance shall do us apart and we would no longer get to have our lunch together, no more Friday matinee with you, no more evening walks, no more sleepovers and all the good times we can imagine will be no more; how shall we bond this strongly then.
Although social media does an amazing job in bringing us closer but what about those times when an impish look and a sardonic smile sufficed. Those times when we got to share every sec of our lives. Those times when we went out loafing around the streets imagining dirty in every thing and have our long belly laugh sessions. But Damn this distance. I now imagine your life as a newspaper where I just get to read the headlines and 90% is left unsaid for my imagination.
I eagerly wait for the day when we shall be the masters of time. When we shall get to halt our busy lives only to get back to our "so us" adda. Blah I understand the impossibility of this idea.
But yea I shall promise you one thing as to when the time comes when I shall be independent from the shackles of duty, I will without a second thought make it to your city and we shall then discuss all that we missed out on, complete our backlog parties and bitch about all the new people we met.
But then again I don't even see that happening anytime soon. So now we need to make serious plans on keeping our friendship moving with equal zeal. Well this is how:
We shall make sure to text even our most teeny tiny memory that somehow invades our mind or any dumbest shit that reminds us of each other; anything ridiculous that happens to us and any new outfit that we begin to love.
We will make sure to find time for phone marathons or simply text marathons. We will understand that there might be times when the other wont be available to talk on phone. No worries we shall take all the pains to text them the news and start our watsapp marathon.
No matter the distance we shall still look up to each other for some real advice. Far-away friend might open the possibilities of looking into the problem with entirely different and fresh perspective.
We will trust each other that we are both there where we need to be right now. Our journeys might be different, our ideas for future might be different but we will always have our common base and that is our friendship. We will challenge ourselves not to loose it, no matter how far we go.
Loosing touch doesn't have to mean we are not great friends. That was just a different period when we spent days together and now its a different period where even though we might not get to speak too often we are sure our friendship shall never die and we will forever remain "know-each other-till-we-die" type friends.

I promise <3
