It was a challenging period not only for me, but for all. Every country was battling the covid virus. Many people lost their lives, which is something that should never happen. There were many people who were free from the virus who were able to stay in their homes. I'm glad I was able to be one of them.
One afternoon, I finished my lunch and lay down in bed. I have come across a social community app where people share their opinions on the questions they are asked. When I skimmed through the questions, I found an interesting one, and I answered it. I got the reply from the questioned user, she thanked me.
I've looked through her profile, and she has asked several interesting questions, to which I answered a few. We had an open dialogue about one question. I thought it was not a good idea to have open conversations, as other users might be able to read our texts.
She reverted quickly after I messaged her privately. She complimented my opinions and said that I seem friendly, but I didn't know how to respond, so I thanked her formally. Not only that, but she advised me not to be nervous because I was acting too reserved.
Before her, I had conversations with a few other girls, but she's different. Even though we're from different countries, our cultures and lifestyles are similar. We would text each other for up to three hours a day. I'm an indecisive person, and she's an outgoing one.
We used to chat about everything that was going on in our lives. I soon became comfortable talking to her about anything.
One day, the lockdown ended, and she was able to regain her job. But, nevertheless, she texted me now and then. I had thought that she would be my good friend forever. The reality is different from what you think.
One fine day, I opened our conversation and couldn't find her account because she has deleted it. She didn't even inform me. I was heartbroken. It took a month to get over the emotional pain.
I believed that she is an irately outgoing person and doesn't see things the way I see them. For almost 2 months, I had the pleasure of chatting with a wonderful personality.
It's not that she has taken me for granted. She always made me feel special and never made me think that she was just using me to kill time. Few people come and go in our lives without a reason. I saw her image once, and it will stay in my mind forever.
This experience gave me a lesson. Do not anticipate anything from anyone. Be ready to let people go if they want to move on with their lives. Life goes on.
Miss you Katie.
