The groupchat

Added 2022-01-31 09:03:41 +0000 UTC

I met my gang of friends when I was 15. It has expanded over the years, and everyone has more or less spread to different cities for work and study as we grew up, usually gathering up for conventions (most of the group watches anime, and we book a room together for the events) and the big celebrations of the year, like midsummer (the "nightless night", a traditional finnish celebration), halloween (which isn't traditionally celebrated in Finland, but my friends are a bunch of goth nerds who won't pass up an opportunity to dress up in costumes every year) and new year's.

Covid put a dent into these annual gatherings, but things in our everyday life, like new haircuts, new jobs, diagnoses, pictures of stuff we cooked or crafted, and the occasional cool bug, are always shared in the group chat. Saying "not a day goes by without updates" would be an understatement, the 10-person group chat averages on 100 messages per day.
