Most of my friends are scattered around the country, and I even have a few halfway across the globe. When your best friends live in different time zones, your friendship undergoes a unique variety of stresses in contrast to when your bestie lives ten minutes away.
When your best friend lives across the world, there’s some funky stuff that’ll go on. Like, halfway through the day before their birthday, it’ll be their birthday. But it won’t be where you are. But it will be where they are.
When your best friend lives across the world, most of your conversations are going to be either early in the morning or really late at night.
When your best friend lives across the world, you’re going to miss them terribly. And then, after far too many years, you’ll be able to spend far too little time together.
When your best friend lives across the world, there’s a lot of little things you’ll miss. Like, you might forget to share the smaller, but still important, details of your life. Most of the big things will make it through grapevine, but some stuff might not make it.
When your best friend lives across the world, there might be weeks that you don’t really get to talk, just because of the general craziness of your lives.
However, having a best friend that loves across the world is one of the best things. When you do get to see each other, it will feel like no time passed at all, but you’ll have a million and a half things to talk about. So, while it’s nice to have your best friend at least on the same continent, having a best friend that lives across the world is still nice, just in its own way.
No matter where your friends live, they will hold an important place in your heart and your life. Friends are friends, despite the distance.
