Meeting your closest friend for the first time.

After years of bonding over memes and countless late-night chats, I finally met my best friend, Lisa, in person. We decided to meet at a cozy coffee shop. When I spotted a woman frantically waving at me from across the room, I confidently marched up to her, thinking it was Lisa. It wasn’t. It was actually a confused stranger who looked equally terrified as I approached with open arms, ready for a dramatic embrace.
Picture my face as I realized my mistake—like a deer caught in headlights, only this deer was standing awkwardly beside someone who was probably still wondering why a random person was attempting to hug them. A few minutes later, I finally found Lisa, and our awkward start turned into a hilarious inside joke—the “stranger hug” became our affectionate reminder that maybe sometimes, technology needed a break!
