11 years of friendship, 11 lists
Yesterday, my bestie and i have celebrated 11 years of knowing each other.
My friend lives in Berlin whereas i live in Israel, we've never met, but our friendship evolved throughout the years.
I've learnt that you don't need to physically meet a person to have a special bond, it's more than that. I and my bestie managed to be in touch throughout the years.
We've started talking on celebrity forums and then we moved to MSN and facebook.
We always figured how to communicate, we always tried to understand the other side perspective, which is a very important aspect, you really need to respect the other side and understand where the other person is coming from.
My friend decided to make 11 different kind of lists that actually describe our friendship.
I'd like to post them here and share it with you guys. These lists made me incredibly happy and sad, it was such a great gift, it really touched my heart.
The lists:
11 places we should travel to:
