in the space of one coffee...

yesterday i caught up with a friend whom i hadn't seen for over 6 years. we only knew each other briefly - just 3 weeks spent together in the philippines and a few emails exchanged in the year or so following - but we now live in the same city. it was surreal to catch up on such a large and formative episode of someone's life over the space of a single coffee, and to attempt to recount my own. i've noticed that i live very much in the present, largely forgetting the past, though this is unintentional. it makes me feel like i've always been the way i am now, which isn't so. though according to my friend, i haven't changed all that much since we were last together. albeit fairly shallow, you can cover a lot of ground in the space of one coffee.



take care,
