I wanted to share what just happened, because it gave me warm fuzzies. I had a friend waaaaay back in grade school, from Kindergarten until she moved when we were in 3rd grade. For a while we'd talk on the phone sometimes and send letters, but eventually it dropped off. I received a high school graduation announcement, then nothing more until the advent of social media. We'd comment on posts and pictures, nothing big.

Tonight she sent me a message saying "Hey, I'm unhappy, you're unhappy, we don't really know each other anymore, but maybe we can talk to each other about our problems." I was excited. She called me and we talked for about half an hour about our most recent and huge things that have happened, and it was so great. We can be each other's unbiased ears, "like therapy but free" as she put it.

So while today wasn't bad, it certainly brightened with this.
