Spring break felt like something I had been waiting for forever. Ever since I moved away for school, I missed my friends back in Mexico more than I expected. We would text and FaceTime, but it wasn’t the same as actually being together. So when spring break finally came, I was counting down the days until I could go back.
When I arrived in Mexico, everything felt familiar in the best way. The weather, the food, the noise, even the way people talk! it all made me feel at home again. But the moment I was most excited for was seeing my friends. I remember feeling nervous and excited at the same time, like I didn’t know if anything would be different after being away for so long.
As soon as I saw them, all of that disappeared. It felt like nothing had changed. We laughed about the same things, talked for hours, and caught up on everything we had missed in each other’s lives. It reminded me how important those friendships are to me. Even though we’ve all been doing different things and living in different places, the connection is still there and will always be no matter how many kilometers are between us.
