Truth, but actually base on the person who ask, I think.
For couple weeks ago, I met a friend on the internet. Now he’s kind of become like the part of my spare time. I will open the chatting APP to see if there are any messages from him, when I have my time.
And most of all, these messages will all start with the sentence “How are you”. It’s true that they very bothered me or confused me when I saw that I-don’t-know-what-to-reply question on the first several times, especially when we are not that familiar at first. But after that, whenever he text to me, he always starts with the “How are you”, and gradually I get used to it.
Not just his custom of saying this sentence, but the meaning behind the scene, that’s matter.
I’m not that kind of needy person in my life just like the author. But this guy’s continuously “How are you” really sending me with his truly indeed care of if I’m OK. As he said that, I can remember there’s time when he send me the “How are you”, like everyday even I too busy to reply him by that time, and the minute I open the APP seeing so much “How are you” with the different time stamp, here comes my tears, but not felt down. Then I apologized to him like a lots of times, but all he said, just “want to check out if you are OK.” As for me, I really don’t know what to say but thank god how lucky I met this caring people in my cold life. These days I am struggling for the achievement I dream of, it is very discouraged to confess to others when you are not on the place you want. But this guy, with his “how are you” at first and “you will be fine” after seeing what I went through, showed me the feeling of “Hey that’s OK, speak it all out, leave them behind and then start your journey again.” Actually only this guy will send me with his continuously “How are you”, if I will encounter so many different people’s “How are you”, I might be as freaking out as author. And thank god I met only one guy to send me with this.
So by saying this, all I want to say is some words only depends on speaking out from whom. As in my case, I can be really sure all he want to know is nothing but how my life works. And I just need to tell him what I really think and feel at the moment, and I really love to share all my life with him, although we live in, as if, two extreme point of the Earth.
But so what? Thanks to the technology, we can share the moment, and I really believe we will meet one day. And most importantly, thanks for his “How are you” from the other side of the Earth, which reminds me of someone out there care me. Thanks.
Here with my best wish to author, hope you pull through all your tough hour and see the light from lighthouse:)
