Once upon a time, I had a really good friend. In fact, I think he was the first best friend I had since I moved to Tennessee from Taiwan 13 years ago. Because our parents got to know each other as well, he and I began hanging out ALL THE TIME. We knew the best spots to hide in our houses for hide-n-go-seek, we'd go exploring through "Chocolate Island", we'd write each other stupid notes, we'd talk on the phone for numerous hours, and we'd make fun of people together behind their backs. We knew everything about each other. I guess you're expecting me to say something like, "This childhood friend and I fell madly in love with each other recently, and now we are getting married." But no. There really was no point in that story. I think I just miss those carefree days, and I miss our friendship. We started talking online again a few days ago, and I now remember why I loved being around him so much. He makes me laugh. The end.

This one's for you, Eric.
