Well, I would like to talk about an old friend of mine named Faith. Actually, I've known her for quite a few years, uh, since secondary school. And I, um, remember that we used to spend a lot of time together and we had a lot in common. And, uh, actually, I really liked her for several reasons. For example, I would say that she was not only one of the most intelligent people I have ever met in my life, but also one of the most, um, kind people I have ever met. And she, uh, had a great sense of humor and used to make, uh, make me laugh. And, uh, also she was so creative. She always came up with new and interesting ideas, and we always used to follow her crazy ideas together. And I really enjoyed her, uh, company. Um, but unfortunately, after finishing school, we went to different universities and we lost touch. Um, but then suddenly, uh, when I was at university, I found her on Instagram, and I, uh, really wanted to get back in touch with her. Um, but, uh, on the other hand, I felt a little strange reaching out to her after such a long time. But I decided to take the plunge and I wrote, uh, hi. And I then, uh, introduced myself and I asked her whether she could remember me or recognize me or not. And she was very surprised. And, uh, became so happy and said yes. Ah, and we, uh, were speaking about our good days and memories with each other for an hour. And, uh, yes, but unfortunately, we drifted apart and we lost, uh, touch again. And, um, this happened to us again.
