The hidden importance

Well yeah, I´m kinda back in town after my illness. It´s still not completely gone, but at least I feel much better now than a week ago. The week before last was pretty eventful, but I don´t think I will write about it in detail. Friday: ASP in concert (Osnabrück) and Saturday: Strip-Show. LOL. Freakish combination, but both events were very interesting (Well…“interesting“ is not quite the word to describe the „American Dream Men“ show, which Iri had invited me to. It was more…inspiring.*g*). ASP was pretty nice to listen to, lots of songs from the new Krabat-album and I absolutely loved Alexanders life singing and (again) the violonist. <3 If you have the chance, you should go and experience it yourself.

Lying in bed and being ill, one comes to thing about things they normally don´t ponder on. In my case, I thought about old friends and my way of keeping in touch with them. Years ago I was a regular writer of long letters, which was a good and enjoyable way to share thoughts. Then came the stressful time in highschool and more and more I came to let those writing habits slide. The internet became the more efficient way to keep in touch with people, but it did not work in every aspect.
Then, some months ago, I got a letter from a really old friend of mine. I guess this was one of the main impulses for me to think about some really good friendships I had lost over the years. Nostaligic, eh? Unfortunately, most of the adresses and numbers have been lost over the years, so I´ll hardly have a chance to touch base with those people.
But sometimes, there´s something like…fortunate coincidence. Years ago I lost contact to a really good friend of mine. I had tried to find her several times, because the contact ran dry very abruptly and without any visible reason. To cut a long story short: Encouraged by the thoughts of my flu-sick mind I gave the search a second chance and…succeeded! This is so crazy, but I´m totally happy that I finally found her. <3 Good to have you back, Reiki. *clings*

Well, this story taught me one thing: There may be coincidences like that, but reality looks like that: Once you´ve lost a good friend they will be irrecoverably lost. I have some really great and patient friends and I don´t want to lose any of them by not keeping the contact. So I decided to try harder and don´t let those contacts run dry by being lazy. Big words since there will be stressful times coming – but I´ll do my best.
