When it comes to happiness, I have been happy so many times in life. Some of those moments I have forgotten, and there are a few I still remember, but there is one particular moment that I can never forget.
It happened in 2011. A new family moved into my area, and they lived right in front of my house.
Somehow, I became friends with the children, and the friendship became so strong that it eventually turned into love.
I remember how I used to have bad days in school, but the thought of getting back home to see her always made me forget whatever was giving me a hard time in school.
I remember the nights we spent together in front of my house, talking, gisting, playing, laughing, and creating memories. We could stay there for hours without getting tired of each other. Looking back now, those were really beautiful moments.
At some point, I was ready to sacrifice my dream when the opportunity to leave my town came up because I did not want to leave my happiness behind. I did not care about anything else but her.
As fate would have it, we never dated, and happiness eventually turned into sorrow. Even though the happiness only lasted for six months, the sorrow lasted for more than three years.
But despite everything that happened afterward, I cannot bring myself to hate those memories.
I will always remember the good times. I will remember how happy I was whenever I was around her. I will remember how a bad day at school could suddenly become a good one just because I knew I was going to see her.
I loved the friendship. I loved the closeness. I loved having someone whose presence alone could make me feel better.
And maybe the biggest reason I still cherish those moments is because it was the first time I ever felt that kind of love.
It was my first experience of having someone mean that much to me, and even though things did not end the way I wanted, I am still grateful that I got to experience it.
Six months of happiness. More than three years of sorrow.
But whenever I think about 2011, I still remember the happiness first.
