Amputated Nostalgia
Monday, June 18, 2007
Had quite a chat with Leg yesterday. Because she has always been swamped with work, chatting with her for more than half an hour was a breath of fresh air. So long overdue. We don't get to do that anymore.
Anyway, she posted (or reposted?) old harem pics on her Multiply. She was on Separation Anxiety last night which was probably why she posted (reposted?) those pics. I browsed through them very much missing my friends. She was yet to miss home while I was already missing home. Sigh. A montage of feelings came through me-- a feeling of voidness and yearning yet a feeling of happiness that all of us are moving on and headed to different ventures. Like I told Hoen yesterday, "Leg may be moving physically farther away from us but she is one step closer to our Google dream." Hehe. When, oh when are we ever going to be complete again? Will my kids know my extended family? I would want them to. And when will the next shoeshot be?
Buttwipe has some bouts of loneliness too. She misses our dinners out, our girlfriend talks, our late night phone calls. She does to Teody what I do to Hoen-- we ask too much of them sometimes. They are our girlfriends, our best friends, our lovers, confidantes and all things in-between.
Why does being apart seem so right yet feel so... heartbreaking?
Hija L, good luck in Singa! Although it makes no sense to be missing you MORE right now, I feel closer to you now that we are BOTH in different countries. You have always worked your way up and I just know things will be happening for you in Singa. And yes, that includes men! Love you!
