Wait.
Listen.
Let me really ask you: How are you doing?
It's just that I can't hear your voice anymore, when I look at this monitor.
A lot of my friendships, like my stories, happen quickly. One minute they don't exist, the next minute they do. Like my friendships, some of my stories end abruptly.
The one I'm about to discuss happened slowly, accumulating tiny threads which only wove together into a real friendship yesterday. I don't know if it'll be a good story when I tell it, at least this first time, but I think it'll sound....I dunno, more "true to life" than most of my real-life stories do.
At any rate, I think you'll find it interesting, especially if you're one of the handful of friends with whom I've ever really discussed what it's like for me to be Indian, for me to try to integrate that into who I am.
