S.S
He is my friend. At least now he is. Although I met him four years ago, it was only until the last month or so that he became more than a stranger to me. Sometimes the image you see when you first meet someone is the only image you see in the future or you may think you wont come in contact with them again. Sometimes this isn’t the case.
Sam was the person I had fun partying and drinking and dancing away with. He once jumped a fence to get me waffles once the festival had ended. I knew then and I still know now that it is a sign of a good man. This type of relationship fit well for both of us as we lived in different states of Australia.
Time went by and Sam moved to France to live, and it wasn’t until I found myself travelling abroad that we began to see a reunion being a possibility.
Now things have changed and I see him no longer as that fun friend, but instead someone that I don’t want to say goodbye to. It is amazing how quickly my feelings have changed and how easily it has been to fall into step in this new world.
Samuel is the typical Australian surfy guy and this aspect of him stands out immensely living in Spain. It may have something to do with living with international flatmates from all over the world as well.
I feel I can relate to him the most as we have the Australian link that will never cease to exist. I still can’t see too deeply into his always working mind, although he tells me constantly that he doesn’t think much about anything. I look into his eyes and I see more than he gives away. I wonder why it has to be kept secret, or maybe he just feels the past is not important.
At the age of 29 he is still living the good life of travelling, learning languages, going to festivals and most of all having fun. I know some people may look down apon his craziness but I feel proud of him for doing what he wants to do. Society’s opinion should never matter enough to make you change your life
Sometimes, well actually all the time, he wants to be right. Especially when it comes to directions while driving. I sometimes try to battle my argument across but most times I will let him have the glory of feeling correct as it helps him feel like a better person. (That’s what I assume anyway).
Most of the day is full of him making fun of me, but when I turn it around in my head his words are better than compliments often are. Compliments from guys can be too full on and over the top at times as they think you want to be told you are the most beautiful women in the world ten million times a day. Just sometimes I want to be told I have messy hair and that I look like a dirty pirate hooker. For a change is better than a holiday. I constantly call him old man, as there is a rather large age gap between us but he knows I don’t mean it. At the same time I know it must bother him as he ‘forgot’ to tell me it was his birthday a little while ago. I must admit I’m sure I wouldn’t be embracing my 29th birthday either.
Sam gets on well with anyone, and is often over hyper and energetic seeming him to be younger than he is. He is just living his life the way he wants to and trying to have fun while doing it. He is doing the best he can possibly do and I hope the rest of his journey is as fulfilling and enjoyable.
He is definitely one person, once a stranger now a friend, which I will never forget. I will hold onto the friendship that came out of unexpected circumstances for years to come.
