I was browsing thru old emails in the last days, deleting all the spam, "funny" jokes, and hoax emails I have received. The mailbox I was cleaning up was my oldest one, therefore I had many emails in there from the year of 2003. The time when I first came to the UK.
Reading thru all the old emails I have received from friends/family, I realised, moving around in the world is not easy. Many of those friends we were corresponding are not in touch with me anymore. Not because we became enemies, but the relationships just faded away. Email exchanges became less and less, when stopped eventually.
I feel myself a bit sad because I miss those people, and miss those friendships. Just one day I was thinking about how much I miss going out to lunch with Craig, Sausage, and Lucian. I miss my lunch with Mr. O, from Meteor office, the cigarette breaks with Mr. Jandak.
I miss friends from Hungary, from Prague, from Manchester, and realized I do not want more big changes in my life, because losing friend is shit (excuse my french). Would be time to settle down and stay in one place, not to always "replace" and make new friends.
"Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony". (Matrix) Because the time when I wanna settle down is in the middle of the credit crisis, when nothing is sure, and no long distance decision should be made. :-)
