So, there's one girl who says hi to me every time she sees me in the hallway. During the course of the school day, I of course interact with many of my fellow students, but this girl always sticks out in my mind. Let's just call her Julie.
Julie and I have definately been closer in the past. We used to do the same things, take the same classes, and have the same friends. As I'm sure you are well aware of though:
Life changes.
Pretty soon, you even forget how to play the games you use to play and the names of the people you played them with. But, not in Julie's case. Julie could easily walk past me every time we meet without uttering a word. I'm not always on the prowl for conversation and consequently, wouldn't have thought anything of it.
Julie does say something though. And I think a lot about it. It makes me think a lot about how someone who I haven't had a lengthy conversation with in almost two years is quite possibly more interested in, much less, aware of my presence.
Julie's salutations always instills a good feeling in me: knowing that someone feels I'm worth a hello.
Maybe next time you see that person you used to be really close with, you could let them know the same thing: say hello!
