Less than two months ago I noticed that an online of mine had gone distant, not even distant, I stopped seeing his messages, status updates and all. He's someone I always view his status and we talk a lot. But as at the time I wasn't too active online as well so it took me some time to notice it as well. So, I dropped a message for him and went offline.
I came back online two days later and my message was still unread, I just thought maybe he's busy, I'm busy too. So, I overlooked it, the following week I got restless as I had dropped another message for him and that was unread too. But for the rest of that day too, I was occupied and I forgot about it.
A few days later, I needed to put a call through to someone and have forgotten what I saved the person's number as, as I was scrolling through my contact list I bumped on his name and it immediately came to my mind that I had planner for on calling him earlier. So, I put a call through to him immediately.
The phone rang for a few seconds before he picked it. The voice in the other end didn't look like his, but it was him. I engaged him and he told me how he had been going through a very difficult period (especially about his relationship), things aren't going well for him and all of that. And for over an hour I allowed him to pour it all out, I said every little because I could tell that he really needed to pour it all out.
Before we ended the call, he thanked me for putting a call through and how timely the call was because he was already planning on doing something.... Hurting himself.
And that's it, most of the time people don't actually need money, at times all they need is an advice, a listening ear, a timely message, a call and such. What happened also made me appreciate the internet and social media the more. Because if not for that, it would have been very difficult to reach him or to even know him. This is a guy we have never seen each other physically but we are very great friends online.
I still think about that call till today, what if I had skipped it to call who I wanted to call first, what if I had postponed it till night or the following day, what if ...just what if.
