Connected by Friendship

The most important person in my life

The most important person in my life is a girl that I met her unexpectedly in the online group. Her name is Altynai, my best friend. We started an online chat about twelve months ago. I wrote first to her. This is where it all started. She is Bashkir and lives in another country. But it doesn’t matter to us at all. In the chat we shared common interests, enjoyed random things, and perfectly matched in our silly of humor. Despite living a long distance apart, our phones stay connected.

Each day we are talking with each other. A lot of messages and hours pass while we chat by phone, laughing like neighbors sharing jokes every day. Photos, voice notes, and stickers — small moments sent fast — so it seems we still live close. We complete each other. We have a lot of thing that matches us together Last year, our holidays was really long and interesting. We were talking all day every day and night. We laughed through shared messages and video calls. We have a lot of memories from our chat. A lot of old jokes that we were joking when we started to chat/Birthdays passed with virtual candles lit on screens and big messages written from the heart. Presents were unwrapped via webcam glow. Being close didn’t need a physical room or even the same city.

Soon we’ll celebrate twelve months together — a important day that means more than I ever expected. Not long ago, a screen showed me her in online group — now she shapes each day in ways I did not expect. I met a true friend on the internet who changed my life and continues to cheer me up every day. No matter the distance, we remain best friends who trust each other completely.
