Three years have passed since the last time I saw my Lion friend. As an expat living in a foreign country, it's always a joy to reconnect with old friends. I remember the first time we met, I was struck by their confidence and charisma. They had an energy about them that was infectious. Over the years, we shared countless laughs and adventures. Now, as I prepare to meet them again, I wonder how much has changed. Three years can be a lifetime, especially in the fast-paced world we live in. But I have no doubt that my Lion friend will still be the same charming and magnetic personality that they always were. As I wait for them to arrive, I reminisce about all the good times we shared. The impromptu dance parties, the deep conversations about life, the times we got lost in a new city and had to rely on each other to find our way back. Finally, they arrive, and as we embrace, I am happy to see that my suspicions were correct. My Lion friend is still as confident and lively as ever. We catch up on all that has happened in our lives, the highs, and lows, and share our plans for the future. As we say our goodbyes, I know that it won't be another three years until we see each other again. Our friendship is too special to let time get in the way. I am grateful for the bond we share and the memories we have created. In the end, it's not about where we come from or what we do, but about the connections we make with one another. And I am lucky to have a Lion friend who reminds me of this every time we meet.
