Migration
11 08 2004My best friend moved away. (Roughly 350 km) We lived in the same city for almost eight years, and now a new period is to start in our friendship. What makes it easier: though we lived very close to each other (shortest distance: 300 metres), we often used to have phonecalls lasting several hours.
In addition, another good friend is migrating to Roma. And that is much further away. We met yesterday to say goodbye and it was quite sad.
I believe that it is possible to keep up relationships even over a long distance. But not being possible to go for a walk in the park or to go to the movies or just to meet for an ice-cream…
Not many good friends left here. Actually, just one! All the others are scattered througout the country.

Don’t be sad! I won’t move…
…soon.
Heads up!
Well, but you do not exactly live around the corner, do you?
I will probably take a good remedy: frequent visits.
But thank you, anyway.
Well, to quote an old friend of mine: “Irgendwas ist immmer…”
As frequent as to berlin?
Well, you are one of those scattered friends. So my nagging was not directed to you.
And on a second thought the migration is not the worst:
a) more visit points (esp. Rome is not to be neglected)
b) life is change (unless you are an auditor of course)
c) being at the atlantic coast makes those “problems” occur a lot less important and grave
Frequent, well, yes. Frequent as the seasons. Although my visits to Berlin do have a higher frequency (except this year).
