Patience in conversations.
The online conversation started like this:
I feel so lonely.
When I asked how long that had been the case, there was no answer. No response to any of the following questions either. Nothing… She was still online, but there was no more reply. Nothing.
Sometimes you just can’t say anything anymore; sometimes there is no answer, and you can feel helpless. So, I sent her the following song:
And then there was one reply:
‘Thank you.’
And that was it… She listened to the song; there was someone who wanted to listen to her, and after 5 minutes of silence, she moved on…
Sometimes just ‘being there’ is enough.
