I was scrolling on my gallery when I ran into an old memory. Suddenly I remembered all that happened in the pictures. It was a bittersweet last moment where I and my friends had fun wholeheartedly together; it was not awkward, and it was full of love and laughter. 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡
I remembered that we planned on going to each other's graduation in senior high school because we went to different schools. And among all of us there are three of us who went to the same school and two who went to the same school and the other two who went to different schools as well.
It's a shame and unfortunate that we went to different schools; it was hard to see each other every day, unlike when we were in our high school years. We've been classmates for 4 years, so going our separate ways was hard for us. Especially for me because they were all I had before.
To make up for the moments of wanting to be with each other, we came up with an idea of going to each other's graduation. And my graduation with my two friends was the last one. ⟡ ݁₊ .
My heart aches when I reminisce that they were there for my important day. I was glad they were there, and it felt like I graduated with them just like in high school. I gave them my graduation hat and my medals to make it feel like they were really graduating with me.
We took a lot of pictures together until it was enough for us. Then we walked to my friend's house to celebrate that we are now graduates but also to celebrate that we were all together. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡
Our voices and laughter can be heard in the streets. We were so loud that I remembered that people would glance at us in the street, but we didn't care about them at all. I can also remember that people would shout to congratulate us from our graduation because we were still wearing our graduation toga.
Time was really fast that time; for a short time, it was already late. But we did not want to go home yet; we wanted to enjoy the moment together until our family would call us to go home. But our family did not call us even though it was really late, I think they realize it was an important moment for us, therefore, giving us that night to do things together was a given.
We took off our toga and wore jackets because it was cold that time, and then we went out and walked together in the city to talk and to make memories. Then we stopped at the boardwalk and did crazy and funny things together, like doing some trends we saw online and remaking them.
I was myself when I was with them; they really bring out the best in me. ˙⋆✮
Remembering the last time we had so much fun that we cared less about what people would think about us was truly an eye-opener to me. There are times where I cared so much about what people would think about me if I do this or that, but then when I am with the people I feel comfortable with I would forgot about what people would think of me, even If I would look silly or more crazier than that.
I also realized one thing: you can never control time; you'll just wake up one day, and everything will feel different already. One time you were with these people whom you cared so much about, and then you blink and you're in a different place. For me I could not forget about the moments I had with them, that's why I can relate to the song "Right Where You Left Me" by Taylor Swift. It hurts to even hear that song; up until now, I could not bear to listen to it fully without being bitter.
If I could just rewind time, I might have done it again and again just to experience those moments I made with my friends. That is why we must cherish the little moments we have with our friends because we can keep them with us even though time slips through our fingers like sand. ✗♡✗♡
