I feel like I've totally lost touch with one of my friends. We hadn't known each other for long, but we became friends pretty quickly and spent every minute together with a smile on our faces. It was a whole lot of fun to be around her, and even when we didn't physically see each other, we'd write each other messages or chat online. But then she got a new job, and it seems like that, plus me going to Germany, has placed a gigantic wall between us. It's been forever since I've had a direct communication from her. I mean, of course I'm happy for her. I know she loves her job, and it really is the perfect job for the perfect person. It's not even like she's gone, because I still see her tweets all the time, it's just...I feel like now, even though she's still here--maybe even more so than before--she's drifting further and further away. A monthly email can't fill that hole she left in my heart. It's not even very personal.
I miss you, Barb.
