January Encounters

Coming out of the grocery shop, I ran into Sim. We greeted each other politely and parted ways. For more than two decades, she had been the central figure in my life, then one day she flipped a switch and became someone I never knew. So, I saw her and the only thought that came to my mind was that we were just two strangers with memories. I could be sad but I choose to thank her instead because deep down I know I would never be the person that I am today, had she not come into my life.
