I love a friend u can pick up where u left off
Living in Indo got so lonely during my two year stay. It was definitely a bunch of new challenges everyday. Little things started to really get to me and i became increasingly frustrated by my inability to learn the language and therefore be somewhat independent. Having to rely on people to even get food and not knowing how to get to n from work some days was probably my biggest worries. Being started at and being judged on my clothing or religion were also big factors.
There was this one Irish chick at work that we just clicked from day 1. So different than any friend I have ever had before but somehow she became my rock during my stay. She was my therapist, the person I just felt comfortable saying anything to.
This was different for me, I find it hard to open up evento the longest people iv known. But she was different she could just listen to me for hours talk about anything, n it’s something iv never had before.
When I started living back in oz or starting a new job in Viet. She would cross my mind sometimes because I started to feel lonely again. I missed our countless cig breaks everyday where we could just talk bout anything. I felt like there was something missing.
So I decided to go on a random three week visit to Indo a year later and was heaps excited to link up. I was in Bandung for a couple of days and told her to meet up one night. Actually not to her surprise I told her 20 minutes before we were going to a bar to meet up. Hahaha. Gave her no notice whatsoever but that’s the friend I no. She literally got dropped off 15 mins after I told her where I was. She still said said to me ‘nothings changed leanne’.
We spent maybe 3 or 4 hours chillin there, n during those hours I opened up to her more than anybody I had talked to during that year apart. It felt good to get some feelings or things off my chest about my struggles at the moment. It was like we could pick up just where we left off.
