Lucky

I have always been lucky when it comes to friends. A sister. A mentor. Once, I remember a rare period where I was missing this in my life and I prayed. Three days later, I met a woman on a Brooklyn street who changed my life.


Every woman who has passed through my life has been a love affair. Sometimes I was good, sometimes I was bad... But all have left their imprint on me.

One of the things I anticipate the most is going back home and having a drink with my friends. They have no idea..... But, even now, in Japan, I am lucky. We come from totally different worlds, but our hearts are connected in an unexplainable kinship.

We can't explain why we have decided to tell each other our secrets. We can't explain why we laugh at the same things... extra hard.


We call each other sister.. Imagine that.. The worst thing about leaving Japan will be leaving her..
There are many gifts to be had in this world.

What you wrote is amazing, especially when you wrote " Every woman who has passed through my life has been a love affair. Sometimes I was good, sometimes I was bad... But all have left their imprint on me."
I immediately thought of my dear, dear friend Catherine, who lives in Paris. I miss her very much.
I will call her this week!
Great insight, great post.

Thank you
