I'm not the type to dwell in my past. I don't purposely force my self to think about the "good times" but it comes naturally when something similar to that event in the past occurs to me. And that's what happened today.
I was taking the subway home and there was a girl sitting across from me. She was smiling as she was looking at her phone. Perhaps she was looking at a funny picture. But her smile was so subtle it seemed like she received a message from her friend which made her happy… and that got me thinking about my own experience.
I'm sure we all had that moment when a simple text message from your friend makes your day. I too, had many incidences when I was delighted to see a friend's message. However, the fondest memory I have is the time I missed my stop while reading my friend's email. Here in Toronto, the technology isn't that advanced, so we don't get wifi on the subway. And, this was when I was using my blackberry. I got an unexpected email from a friend of mine, and I had opened it before getting on the subway. It was a very thoughtful email and I really appreciate my friend's email at that very moment. It got me really excited and I kept reading it over and over and over again. I only realized when I got to the stop after where I was supposed to get off. It almost felt like, I couldn't hear anything and I couldn't see anything other than the email at that moment. I didn't hear the announcement. I didn't even notice people getting on and off at a busy interchangeable station.
Walking home, I thought about that day and the feeling I had. I'm glad that it is one of those "good ol'memories" that I can reminiscence even after a few years.
