FOUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN
that's how many days since i have hugged my best friend. because four hundred and fourteen days ago she went home. you might be confused right now, cause if she went home couldn't i still see her? not exactly. her home is in Greece. that's where she came to America from almost six years ago, and now she's back there again. it came unexpectedly, we only knew about 2 weeks in advance. we used to think she was coming back but we both gave up on that now. i try to save every cent for a plane ticket to see her but its pretty expensive and my family doesn't have that kind of money anymore.
her whole plane ride to Greece i was in panic because i couldn't talk to her and i prayed she made it there okay, which she did. a month after she was there her computer was taken away and i couldn't talk to her and i cried for weeks thinking something happened to her, but a few days later she called me saying she was fine. we try to still be close but its so hard when you are four thousand eight hundred miles apart with a seven hours difference, but we try to make it work.
I'm telling you all this because it's changed my life. i don't get in fights with my other good friends anymore because we've realized that time is too precious to be mad at each other for stupid reasons. don't take any time you have with your friends for granted because one day they could have to leave and you might never see them again. today, is the four hundred fourteenth day i haven't seen my best friend, the closest thing i have ever had to a sister. tomorrow it will be four hundred fifteen days and then four hundred sixteen. i won't be seeing her soon. so be thankful for everyone moment you have before its too late.
please read this is you love your friends as much as i do
