Today I saw three friends from high school. I had a really good day.
I feel like every day I try to overexert my limits yet don't tire myself in the process as much as I thought. I like to think that it's because I'm in better company now. And I am glad. Today was, indeed, very tiring; I am about to go to sleep. Still, looking back at the day I had, I think it was worth it.
If you told me two years ago that these were the people I was going to keep in contact with after graduating high school I wouldn't have believed you! I did talk to these people and they were my friends but I thought of myself so miserably that I assumed I wouldn't be able to maintain these friendships. Especially since we're so different!
But if there's anything I learned last year is the art of holding a conversation. I'd say I've become a pro, even. And it has given me really nice results reflected on my latest experiences meeting people and socializing.
Today I had two significant meals. One of them at a cafe and the other at my friend's house. Both shared with the same people. The second one left a huge impression on me. I didn't know I was hungry but my friend was so she put some bread in the oven and we ate it with butter and some tea and it tasted like home. I almost cry at the memory of my eight-year-old self and her eating lunch in her kitchen on holidays watching anime. It makes me really happy that I've started to remember more things after hanging out with them.
I really like looking back at today. I wish it'd never ended. But also I WAS very tired. Hope we start hanging out more from now on. Sorry for the lazy writing lol I'll see if I fix it tomorrow after class. Let's all keep healing :-)
