In terms of answering this question, I would like to mention to girl I was friends with back to the time when I was an exchange student in the United States of America. So as far as I can recall, several months ago I’ve been sitting in my class. I believe it was my math class and I suddenly got this notification that actually got me by surprise because this notification was from her. She actually sent me a message asking how I was doing, the way she was missing me a lot because apparently I went back to Georgia as my exchanger had ended. And after that, after she decided to approach me and get in touch with me, we started talking and we started recalling all of those good memories we’ve been sharing when I was an exchange student. It was a good time because I spent most of my time with her due to the fact that we had a lot of similarities and we had pretty much the same interests. We both were in the same classes so we’ve been also helping each other and all of those activities, all of those things helped us to build this communication and develop this personal bond between each other. So it was really heartwarming and touching to see her notification, to see her message. And yeah, we’ve been talking for a while after that, like for several weeks about our future plans and the way we want to go to universities and what type of universities we’d like to go to. We’ve been also planning to meet with each other. Either I’ll go to the United States to visit her or she comes to Georgia to see me and that’s how we think we will reunite physically. But mentally we reunited. As I said, it was it was a really thrilling moment because I was so excited. It made the shiver run down my spine. And yeah, I really like this friend and I believe it’s a really good opportunity when you have a chance to get in touch with people you used to hang out with and used to be close with.
