I know not much is supposed to be read into the fortune inside the cookie you get from Chinese restaurants, mainly because 1) they’re really not fortunes and 2) it kind of loses its meaning when the person you’re eating with gets the same exact one.

However, they are pretty good reminders, at least for me. The other day I came across this one,

“Getting together with old friends brings new adventures.”

It came at a perfect time, as I’ve literally just relocated back home to Richmond last week. It’s been quite some time since I’ve hung out, or even spoken to a lot of the people who meant a lot to me as I was growing up (I know, shame on me. It’s not an easy thing to admit, nonetheless write on a blog). Fortunately I’ve learned my lesson and have kept in (better) touch with those from college, but that still doesn’t make up for everyone else before then.

So needless to say, I’m really looking forward to hopefully getting a second chance to reconnect with some awesome people, and seeing what new adventures they will bring!
