The article "We Changed" by Ashley Zheng is completely relatable. Ashley reunited with her friends after years of moving from Shanghai. Texting her friends was much more comforting than their reunion. Texting really is different from hanging out since your mind takes you on a whole other world where conversations are floating above you. I know when I text, there is a ton more open ended questions than when hanging out with friends. The majority of people could agree that relationships feel to be strings "tied in other directions". Thank you Ashley for such unfortunate but true experience.
