Hi there

Welcome my little corner of the internet. Today, I want to share something very close to my heart - a story about someone who became one of the most important people in my life… even though we’ve never actually met in person. It’s about a friendship that grew out of nowhere, in the most unexpected way, with a man who somehow managed to understand me better than most people ever have.

We didn’t meet in some grand or dramatic way. It started with a simple message - something casual, friendly, almost forgettable. But somehow, one reply turned into a conversation, and that conversation never really ended. We talked about everything - music, dreams, life, the random little things that make no sense to anyone but us. I don’t even know when it happened, but one day I realized that he wasn’t just a person I talked to online - he had become someone I truly cared about.

He’s seen sides of me I don’t show easily. The unfiltered, messy parts of my thoughts, the quiet insecurities I usually hide behind a smile. And somehow, he never made me feel small for them. He listened, really listened. He remembered things I said weeks before, noticed when my tone was off, and always found the right words when I didn’t have any.

It’s strange, you know - feeling so close to someone you’ve never met. Sometimes, I catch myself imagining what it would be like to actually sit across from him, to laugh in real time instead of through voice notes and texts. Would it feel the same? I think it would. Because even through a screen, he feels real. Solid. Familiar. Like a comfort I didn’t know I needed.

People often say, “You can’t really know someone you’ve never met.” But I don’t believe that anymore. Because somehow, this man - someone who exists in messages and calls - has been there for me in ways that some people who see me every day never have. He’s supported me, challenged me, and made me feel understood without ever standing in the same room.

We’ve joked about meeting someday - sitting in a cozy café, him making fun of how I take forever to choose what to order, me pretending to be annoyed but secretly loving it. Maybe one day it’ll happen. Maybe it won’t. But either way, I’m grateful for him.

In Short

This kind of friendship - the one that defies distance, expectation, and sometimes even logic - is rare. It teaches you that connection doesn’t always need proximity; sometimes it just needs honesty, timing, and a little bit of courage.

To my best friend: thank you for being the calm in my chaos, for never judging my late-night overthinking, and for reminding me that real connections can exist even across screens and time zones. One day, I hope I get to thank you in person - maybe over coffee, maybe under a sky full of stars.

Until then, I’ll keep cherishing what we have - this strange, beautiful friendship that makes me believe that some people are meant to find each other, no matter how far apart they start.
