friendship

The memories are still the same, but maybe I could’ve been the one who changed.

These are lines by Kim Joon from my favorite Korean TV Series. It was 5 years after he and his friends graduated. I guess they departed ways then. He went back to his old school, reminiscing the old days where the friendship and love was fresh. But now, as he visited the school, he felt sad; as he said it was as if he was already forgetting his clique. He then texted his friends to meet at the school, and the memories were refreshed. They shared laughs just like before, they played around just like the old days. From there, he realized, nothing really changed with him and his friends. It’s just that they have their own lives now. They can’t just fool around all day like in their high school days. He was forgetting because he was moving on without them. He was forgetting them because he kept them only as a mere memory.

Why am I talking about these stuffs? Well, I don’t really know probably because currently, it’s my favorite line. The moment I heard that line, I liked it. Although at that time, I didn’t really understand it yet but after some time I felt the same thing with my high school clique. And I understood everything. It was when I went to my high school kabarkada’s debut; all of our other kabarkadas were there. We are 12 all in all. I still get to see some one or two of them but the rest, no contact at all. It’s been a year or two I think. It’s not that I don’t miss them, I do. But it’s just that I had other priorities, i became very preoccupied that there was not much space for them anymore that’s why I don’t really search for them. And in that debut, I realized everything. I saw some of my high school teachers; I saw some of my batch mates. I was really happy seeing them. And suddenly this line from that series popped out. “The memories are still the same, but maybe I was the one who changed.” I wasn’t erasing them, but maybe because I’m not spending my life with them that I was forgetting them already. Our meeting wasn’t awkward, everyone stayed the same, only that the singles before now have boyfriends; some have different boyfriends form before. I’m not really that much updated. But when I’ve seen them and have been with them, laughed with them, we were making new memories. And I just felt that I want to make more memories with them. Not just memories to be forgotten but continuous memories for keepsake. I guess if there are always new memories, then no one would forget anyone.

As for that, I’ve decided not to forget them as much as I don’t want them to forget me. I’ll try my best to make time for them so we could create new memories together. And one day when I reflect about them, it wouldn’t be so hard for me to remember them because they were never really gone in my life. I could say that this line or actually this Korean show served as a reminder for me.

This is my first time to make an online blog that’s why I don’t have any idea what to say or talk about. But I’m gonna try my best to make this blog fruitful as possible. Ciao!=)
