January 1, 2026, has been a great first day so far. I spent
the morning with my friend Manda, and I spent the evening with my friend Kay’s
family and Hans and ASid and his girlfriend. (I don’t have a pseudonym for the
young lady yet, but I am leaning towards “Amie”.)
Over dinner, ASid and I became storytellers and entertained everyone. It was one of those rare gatherings where everyone present stayed together for the entire time. Usually, Hans and Kay’s son just surface from the basement for grub and then, quickly disappear! That day, they remained to listen to the stories. One of the stories was about ASid’s trip to Paris when he was 13 years old. He reminisced about being there with his first real crush. Apparently, he had wanted to confess his feelings to her at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and unfortunately, he couldn’t muster the courage to do so. About 7-8 years later, he found out that he was also her first crush, and they had a good laugh about it!
It was interesting what I remembered from that trip and what he did!
I am glad for the opportunity to go back in time and add another perspective to a moment. I am also glad that ASid had more on his mind, on that trip, than what I was worrying about.
