hi.
[to the both of you.]
can you believe it’s been 10 years?
a decade ago.
today, exactly.
the 18th of december.
I was 23.
you remember me?
I remember you, bench. and I remember you, bridge.
I was cold and hungry.
saving my pennies for an adventure.
I was missing my family.
and a girl.
wondering if she ever wondered about me.
I didn’t have a friend named Ollie.
and never wanted to live in China.
I was scared. and I was excited.
…
so, pretty much - nothing’s changed.
…
except you, bridge.
you’ve gotten smaller.
