個人主義-雙重國籍-多樣人格

Dear Monica: 

How have you been? It has been long time that your name, Monica occurs to me. I just got back from a long walk to/from town with my dog, Wolfey in the rain. Yes, in the rain, and suddenly your name popped up in my head. This letter then started to write itself. I am only the media to visualize the context of this letter, a letter to you, a good old friend. 

The memory of you brought me back to that crazy Christmas Party on the tennis court. I remembered it was the first time that I let myself go, let my feet rule instead of my head. We danced all through the party and when the music ended, we went to the little deserted bridge next to our flat, you and me, and a CD player, started our own party under the bright starlet sky.  

10 or so years later, the memory of sort feet has evolved into the traces of laughter and the good time we shared. Age & time will do that to you. Friendship is still going strong even thought we didn’t keep our promise of keeping in touch with each other. Every moment we shared with each other is still vivid in my head, just like yesterday. I sincerely hope you are doing well, my good old friend.  

I watched a film called “Serendipity” over the weekend, only half way through but the encounters of these 4 characters have left strong impressions. I always believe in “signs”, in “serendipity” which bring the strangers together. One of the tiny details of our past once has been altered; our paths might have never gone across.  There must be a reason why I stand where I am. The only thing we could do is to make the most out of it while we are here.  

“Regrets are only the illusions we created. Those things that we might have done differently never happened. It actually doesn’t exit.” Those are the words through my mouth quoted from the book “Without Reservations”.  If I were Sara, I would also have given 100% of what I got to find him, even though it might end up the way I don’t wish to see. Once you have done your part, there is no room for regrets.  

Those coincidences between Sara & Jonathon are a bit unreal but that is what a movie is all about. I don’t know how they met but obviously the time they have spent together have locked their souls. A person with dreams and work hard towards it is the one who deservers the applauses.  

One book and one movie guided me through the time, past, future and the present. I truly enjoy the ride. They woke up the memories between you and me. This letter to you, my dear old friend, Monica sent without address. I know we will meet again; it is time to catch up. I wonder if the thought of you might be one of the signs regarding the future. I have no answers but I would wait and see what is coming up around the corner.  

All is well, my dear friend, Monica.
