Past and Present Memory

So this is how I comprehend it: the theory of losing you before I had the chance to experience and admire all of you.

For him;

Typically, I used to leave class with a huge smile on my face on the last day of the week. I also would often jump into the car, and crank my two favorite songs to the maximum. Sooner than later, I began to scream along to the lyrics the entire ride home and dance inevitably. Who could blame me? I was soon going to see you in two short days, and absolutely nothing made me happier.

However, the first week back after break was completely different; I left school without any of that. The radio is often quiet, playing little to nothing. My face blankly stares down the road, and my voice is silenced. My body is motionless, no longer dancing psychotically. The only movement and sound within is that of my heartbeat, which beats anxiously as I think of you.

From one season to another, things have changed so quickly before I could put a stop to it. It was like watching the leaves turn into multiple colors in the fall. I saw many of the lighter shades, but not so much the darker. Suddenly, they fell off their trees before I had the chance to truly enjoy all of them, both the pretty and the ugly. So this is how I comprehend it: the theory of losing you before I had the chance to experience and admire all of you.

And somehow I have to be okay with living with that.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
