Phone call…
have you ever had a 7 hour phone call? I have. My best friend and I talked for so long one night, and it was crazy and unplanned. She had called me one night like normal. She needed help with a photoshop document, but her subscription had just expired and she was waiting till she got paid to renew it. Because I get the Creative Cloud for free with school currently, I told her I could help her out. So for an hour I helped her with the files. Then I started to work on some homework while we talked, but my friend decided to go on her phone and go on Tik Tok and send me videos before she moved to Instagram and started sending me reels there. So I multitasked and worked on homework while we just silently sat there watching videos together and sending each other funny and relatable ones. Occasionally we would say “go look at the one I just sent you”. After that hour, my friend decided to get off social media. We read a couple chapters in the book we had been reading which took about another hour. Then before we could read more, she had to tell me about something she thought of. That led to us talking about it and then one of us would switch the subject and we would talk about that for a while. The cycle continued. Our conversation ranged so far. At one point we were looking at Disney bounding ideas, then looking at cute mugs, and even planning a potential trip. Finally, we realized it was late (close to midnight for me). And we started to wrap up our talk. That didn’t happen. We got side tracked. Next thing we knew it was almost a 6 hour phone call. We said “wow 6 hours. We’ve never talked this long before. I guess we should wrap it up and go to bed”. We didn’t. My friend brought up something she had wanted to tell me 6 hours ago but had forgotten. We then talked for the next 45 minutes. Finally we decided to wait till the 7 hour mark of our call so we could screenshot the time on the phone. We did that (and still talked for a few minutes after). We wrapped up our conversation then went to bed. Worth staying up till 2am for. But that’s one of the things I love about my friend. She is the only one I can talk to for so long and never get tired of. She and I would go on so many rabbit holes together in our conversations, that sometimes we wouldn’t even remember where the conversation first started. And I loved that for us.
