It’s Been A While

A friend and an ex-colleague of mine invited to his house for some pizza yesterday. We talked and he asked how’s life, considering we haven’t met for more than a year after he resigned.

It was a simple question, and was responded with simple answers. Basically updates of my life (and also work details) and what has happened or changed since. What I found interesting was the act of answering made me realise all the changes that has happened, most of them I have taken just as part of everyday life. Trying to recap all that made me realise that I got quite a lot of things going. “Life’s good,” I summarised. Alhamdulillah.

What’s more the process makes you appreciate the process of talking to another person about your life events. It’s almost cathartic in a way. I have read and believe the positive effects in journaling, but there is something more to have a conversation with someone that understands the significance of the changes that has happened, and see the reactions. It’s like reliving back the joy/excitement of the moments themselves.

So I guess the moral is to go and have pizza with loss friends?

Thank you for reading.
