Sometimes it's better to just walk away

The best thing about depression is sometimes the clarity that comes like after a rainstorm clears the haze. The truly essential things emerge, albeit invisible. The elusive balm of the soul transcends distance and shoots from heart to heart, like a travelling hug at supersonic speed. It's the strength of a friendship, and a testament to the power of technology.

That's how you know that the hours you spent, the energy you invested and the emotions you so unwittingly put at stake - that's how you know they were not in vain, that it wasn't a total waste of time.

And the distance that you feared, that you perhaps now even resent, that physical distance is only there to make sure you never take any of it for granted.

Distance is a funny, funny thing. Sometimes the people closest to you in terms of proximity can be so unreachable, so ... distant (in all terms of the word) and yet the people on opposite ends of the world can feel so close.
