Coffee with a Friend at the Distance

Property of Stormberry

Every Wednesday, my Best Friend and I send each other a picture of our coffee or our tea, as a way to pretend we are out for a coffee together. We take a moment and chit-chat a little throughout the day, and talk about things in out lives.

I love these moments, as we understand each other incredibly well, and we can always give really good advise to each other. We live in different contients, so we really can't just meet weekly at a coffeeshop, so this is something we devised a long ago in order to have "our coffee time". Little we knew that we would all live such a crazy change of all our structures, and these Coffee Dates would become our normalcy little nook.

Last year, if you remember, Quarantine Diaries became a thing, and maybe we thought this would be a thing of a season, half a year, and yet, here we are, thorn from our old normalcy, and now that we start to understand - really understand - that this is how things go and will go from now on, we start working on getting on our feet and finding our new rhythm.

What a curious and exciting generation we are! From the totally analogical world, where phonecalls and color TV were luxuries, where we still wrote letters and did research at libraries from encyclopedias, we are now in a fast world, one that has gone so fast, it but a hard break on us. One, we are surviving through even faster communication.

If you are here, if you are loosing your step, if you feel disconnected, take a picture of your drink, send it to a friend or post it on your social media, and caption it #happycoffeedate.
