Ever since I moved to Metro Manila, I have only visited my hometown twice, and both were because of my HS friends' wedding. Recently, I took my third visit, and again, it was for another friend's wedding.
The three of them were all part of my HS barkada, and with our current age and phase in life, weddings is one of the events that actually gather us together.
I have been friends with these ladies for more or less 15 years now, and it makes me happy and grateful to know that I have found my constants in them. I may be far from most of them, and may not consistently keep in touch, but whenever we spend time together, I feel the sincerity between each other. I know that no matter what happens, they will always remain not just my friends, but also my family.
Recently, I have read this Wattpad series about a group of friends which started from HS and remained until they got older. I really love their friendship to the point of wishing I had what they had. Then one day, while I was reflecting on life and reminiscing on my memories, I realized my HS friendship was actually similar to that Wattpad series... if not even better.
You see, we often wish for things we want to have, sometimes not knowing that we already have exactly what we need.
Anyway. My point really is that I am happy to have experienced life with friends who value and love me as much as I do towards them.
I hope you have yours, too. :)
Stay sane and safe!
Let's spread happiness.
❤
