when you're busy doing your own routines and a message pops up
it's not a reply, it's not a request
not a "please cheer me up" talk, not a work talk
BUT just a casual update by a friend
when you're stressed out from your routines
and a message pops up "hey my sis just gave birth!"
or when you're driving in a mad traffic
and a message says "was thinking about you when i saw this clothing"
or when you finally have some personal time to relax
and someone privately sends you a photo of his proud cooking
especially when someone is in a positive state of mind
ESPECIALLY
because they have no specific reason to find you
to confide in your advices, or ask for help
they could just pretend you don't exist until they need you
yet they didn't
they took the extra effort to share something happy with you
knowing that that effort will kick off a chain of future messages/talks
yet they don't mind that
and still willing to update you whenever, wherever
you are in their mind when something happy is going on
you are being thought of when they want to share
it's a genuine, sincere exchange of positive life experiences
with someone they believe would be worthy of their sharing
someone who they know would be happy for them
i hope what i think and just said is true
for i am genuinely grateful for people around me that still acknowledges me
for people around me that thinks i'm worthy enough to know both sad/happy things in their life
i spent years treating others the best i could
i'm glad others see me the same
and think that i should not miss out on their life
don't you like random updates?
whether good or bad
but nothing less, nothing more than a casual update
because i do
xx.
