Have you ever lived a moment that you thought belonged in a drama?

    Answer Me 1997 is practically my life story. I was in high school around that same time and had a similar group of friends. I had the best friend that liked me and the gay best friend. In my case, I liked the gay friend. I had an incident with the friend that liked me on my 22nd birthday that led us to stop speaking to each other. It was only 15 years later that I realized I had liked him too. Sadly, while he pops up in my life every few years, we hang out once, then he won’t see me again for a few more years.

      Oh no :/ is there no way for you to become closer again? Missed opportunities and estranged friendships, how sad.

        I keep trying but it’s tough. He’s in a bad spot in life right now. He’s divorced with three kids. He’s working two jobs and living with his parents right now. My life isn’t all wine and roses as I have a chronically ill mother that dominates a lot of my time, but things look pretty good on the surface since I have a great job and just bought a house this year. I feel like he’s not going to attempt real friendship until he’s in a better spot.

          Ah….I emphasise with him a little, I know the feeling of wanting to be standing in a better place before you contact friends. The most helpful think then is always if they don’t ask about the situation in question and just focus on something completely unrelated when we meet. Sometimes being there for a person means keeping a certain distance be abuse closing that distance might feel more like nosiness to the other person. But I think you shouldn’t try to stay in contact 🙂 just being careful of his boundaries for now like you have been might be good

    My whole life is a makjang drama, lol. If I was to write it all here, it would be like airing dirty laundry in public.

    Missed a train in China once. Didn’t speak hardly any Chinese. Managed to get myself on the next train and onto my next destination with only a little fuss and then managed to somehow crash the train’s staff meeting in the dining car. Why they didn’t throw me (and my travel buddy) out, I have no idea. They probly didn’t know what to do with these gringos who they couldn’t communicate with.
