Every day, we meet new people. Our lives goes by chapter and in the end it will all become the book of memories. With appreciation, I would like to thank those who were there for me, those who would let their ears bleed to hear my rants, those who sat by me, making sure I won’t ever let a tear out again.
Throwback to the first day of my secondary one year, where i met many people that i didn’t knew I would be close to. Most of them are really weird people that I don’t even know why am I even friends with them. They do have similar and weird personalities like I do. When it first started, I was really scared of people not accepting the silly me. Primary school teached me lots of stuff and I tried my best improvising the old me. We were all of different heights, size, looks, taste and thoughts. The laughters they let out are of different volumes amd the smiles they have were really sweet. They were one of the reasons why I came to school with big smiles and ended the day with muscle cramps in my stomach.
There was once we had a really big disagreement and misunderstanding. I couldn’t bare seeing us separated. I was so used to having all of them right by my side, having all their lame jokes running through the atomsphere. Each of us have many different thoughts and opinions that all of us couldn’t take in consideration or even agree to it. Recess was way more boring than ever as we seated at different tables, further than we used to. Walking back to class with just this heavy thought is really uncomfortable for both me and my friend.
On that night, we talked things out. The starting went out harshly as we were unable to control our anger. The tsunami of tears I held back just burst out without hesitation. We confessed and finally started to accept one another’s thoughts and opinions. It wasn’t easy for all of us. I was really dissapointed with all of us as it was just a minor problem but the way we handled them was immature. That weren’t the people I met on the first day of school. We then started accepting and apologising.
The next day, before school assembly, we gathered at the canteen. We approached each other and hugged. It was weird for all of us to hug each other but it just shows how much we missed being together to the extend where we just forget about the awkwardness we had with one another. The smiles I see now were even brighter, laughters were even louder and we were inseparable. Maybe for a short time but no longer than twenty minutes.
From that day onwards, we were able to get to know each other even more and learned how to maturely sort things out like a better teenager. It wasn’t hard to sort things out unless we hear everyone’s thoughts in order for no misunderstanding to occur. It was easy to forgive but hard to forget. It was left as a memory and a lesson for us to learn. Though they all have their dark sides like I do, they teached me a lot and we managed to accept one another. They helped me got through my fear which was to make friends or having the fear that people won’t accept me for who I am.
I would like to thank you (you know who you are) for being there for me when I am having a rough time and thank you for teaching me a lesson that I can apply in the future. Hope we will all be even stronger together and blessed with many more memories. Love you all ❤️
