Two days ago, I went to my old neighbourhood to get some information from my old neighbour, since I needed them for my math paperwork. And on that day, I met the people I grew up with. It made me feel bitter, because as I grew I realized that I start to distance myself away from my childhood friends. Well, school is the reason why. They went to public schools meanwhile I, went to a private school. Their schedules were much more hollow than mine, and that was the sole reason why we drifted apart. When they were playing with each other, I was with my tutor, studying. And life went just like that. Well first, I met one of my childhood friend, Gilang. Even though we did not converse, we made an eye contact. And there were some kind of emptiness in his eyes, when his and mine met. It's like we never knew each other. Second, I met the man who used to sell iced doger in my neighborhood. He still does. So I bought one cup (and price is still the same! Apparently the world stock did not affect his sales.) and said thank you. I also asked him if he recognized me, and he said I looked familiar. I did not question any further. Well then and there, I realized that his beard is getting... whiter. One of the symptoms of getting old. It struck me that he, too, is also growing up. He's getting older, too. I'm not the only one getting older. But everyone does, too. I used to be as tall as his ribs, but now I'm three inches taller than him. It made me sad, somehow. But I can not describe why, and how. Earlier, I had a mass at my grandma's house because it's her 67th party. Lots of children were there, and I saw innocent sparks in their eyes. They remind me of myself, too. I linger in the past too much. Their friendship was so pure, no harm was done to this world.
