What could cheer up your day #1

1. Receiving Email from a good friend who has lost touch for almost 1 year.

Case Study #1

Dear Jade:
I have been in love with one of my friends for sometime now. He is the total opposite of me and I think that's what makes me like him. Our level of friendship is normal friends apporaching good-friends.
Due to work condition, we seldom meet and we only communicate through emails or sometimes (very rare) MSN. Lately, he didn't send anymore emails or not even replying to the last email that I sent him. Last night, I found out that he was actually in town last weekend but he didn't call me. I was shocked and I thought that even as friends he didn't really care about me. That means he didn't like me. I am so sad now and I had told myself to forget about him but somehow it stuck there. I know I'm stupid.. but you know, like they say, when you are in love, somehow you are an idiot. You agree? - theskyisdark-

Dear TheSkyIsDark,

Can I slap you now? How many times have I told you to forget about him? How many times have I actually screamed at you to wake up and see the sun? He doesn't like you more than a normal friend! He is just treating you as one of his friend. Heck, if he is not even calling you when he was in town, probably he doesn't really treat you as a friend anyway. He won't have any special feelings towards you because he is not even in the same town with you. You said you communicated through emails and MSN. How do you really "feel" him? It's only letters.
Most important, do you really like him? How do you know that you like him if you are not even spending times with him anymore? Emails? MSN? is that a good way to know someone ? I don't think so.. I still prefers lunches, dinners, hang outs, to actually know a person. At least face-to-face conversation is better rather than a cold laptop screen, rite?
Dear friend, I tell you, please forget about this friend of yours and please move on. Ok, now it might be hard, but slowly you will see what I meant. Yes you are stupid and idiotic now, but people are created with the ability to learn and develop themselves. So I am sure that after the sky is clear, you will see that your new love actually is the one besides you literally not virtually. - Jade
