phone call
My father just called me.
He asked how I was. How school is. If I needed anything.
I really needed that phone call.
Yesterday was a lonely day. I felt lonely because as I scrolled through my contacts and phone, I realized that although I do have friends, they are not accessible.
Most of my friends are incredibly busy.
It often takes advanced scheduling to see them. But sometimes when you need someone, you need them right then and now.
I’m now so used to phone calls being led straight to voicemail that when somebody does pick up, I’d be very surprised and say
“You picked up?!”
I started crying as my dad asked me how I was. Because I am basking in my opportunity to be at school and study.
It is amazing. There are so many resources here.
I said I needed more money to pay for tuition. He said he’ll see what he can do.
How is work, I ask.
Everyday is very hard. There are many troubles. I am very tired every day.
I am so grateful. I am so grateful. I am so grateful.
