Yesterday I spent four hours chatting to my high school ´besties´ that I haven´t seen in almost two decades. We were inseparable when we graduated from high school in 1989. Then, gradually, each one of us went separate ways with our careers, study choices and relationships. I could not contain my excitement to get the four of us together again. The emotional bond was still there and I think it will stay with us for eternity.
We shared the exciting things that happened in our lives but most of the time was spent on our challenges and tribulations. Tears and laughter - there is no better way to celebrate friendship. There was no space for gossiping or bitching. Ah women of middle age... not caring too much for what people think of us is liberating.
Life has changed so much in the last 20 years. We would have stayed in touch for sure if back then we lived in a world of email, whatsapp, mobile phones, etc. I sometimes wonder what my life would have been if all this technology was available when I was a teenager. We lived such a rosy, cushioned, middle class life when we were growing up... I think we turned up quite well considering our unpreparedness for adult life. I hope we manage to catch up again soon.
