Yesterday I celebrated my friendship with someone I have never met in real life. We have been friends from some years now but we have only seen each other on whatsapp video calls. We have long calls anytime we reach out to each other and we talk about stuff. She's a beautiful soul. She got some good news and thought to tell me. She kept thanking me and expressing her love for me. I had helped her with some writing. We met randomly on Instagram.
Now, understand that we are not dating or anything of that nature. We are just two people living in different places who share similar interests and ideologies. I am writing this because it felt good to celebrate good news with someone dear. In the midst of cruelty and unkindness, good vibes are so much fun.
Her call gave me so much energy and faith in what I can achieve if my mind is in it. I know I am not perfect. I know I have so much work to do to put myself in a place of peace. I know that I have also tried to be a good friend as much as time, resources and health allows.
I have been able to make beautiful friends like this woman both on here on hive and off hive; people I probably will never see but who have impacted and supported me in ways beyond explaining. These persons have given me hope in many ways. They have come through for me in times of weariness and fear.
I don't know the how or the why but I know that love exists and human beings are capable of giving themselves to others if they choose to. I am always grateful because I know the power that these people as well as those who I have held on to in real life have given to me. I love you all.
I am hoping and praying for a better future for this woman. She's so young and right now so full of hope. May the world be kind to her. Amin. As you were. 🤗
