Meeting your childhood friends and high school classmates for such a long time is one of the best feelings. Talking about the old days, just randomly. The childish things you ever did with them. Including how stupid you were back then but just smiling. I didn't know but those days were sweeter compared to now. Perhaps, we only thought back then was to make ourselves happy. Even though life was hard for those times we forgot and just focused on enjoying ourselves.
Those times or being young will not be back. The feelings will not be the same. We can not return from how it was yesterday. Although, to remember the old days this was the only way. Remembering it will somehow let us remember those feelings. That's the only thing we could do because life in this world will always go forward. No pausing and no returning but letting it feel once again through our memories. Lacking but impossible to forget it.
More than 10 years had already passed but still, the memories we shared were vivid in my thoughts. That's why meeting them once again let me taste the feeling of being young. We were old and the time we could spend was not always available. Having this kind of time was indeed one of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences. It seems normal to others like there's nothing special about it. I understand them if they think that way. They were not the ones who felt the eager feeling of gathering with the old friends.
We were older and the beer was not prohibited no matter how many bottles we emptied. There were no restrictions anymore and even a low-income earner could buy beer that would make us drunk. I didn't even understand why being drunk made us enjoy the gathering more. Even though we looked stupid or foolish because of it. There are no such words that could tell how amazing it was.
The time we spent may not be that long because of their own families. The time was ignored because we were too busy laughing and enjoying it. Added more of it when the beer went into our heads. We only thought about sharing stories, happenings, or actions that would make us burst into waves of laughter. I know there's always an ending to every story. Even so, for sure it would not be forgotten and made us think to do it again. I don't know when but now that we learned how wonderful that feeling was. It triggered us to set another day in the future and have a beer day again.
