Today I had 2 friends drop me texts of encouragement for my upcoming exams. I want to blog about this because I want to remember that there are people that do in fact, think about me and care about me. Ha. Blogs are meant to be self-indulgent and self-obsessed, so I'm going to go right into it - no frills and shit.
These 2 friends were once people that I held so, so close to my heart. If I were to think back on my early years here in Melbourne, they would be the ones filling up 80 to 90 percent of my memories. I miss every single bit of them, and for a while, I used to miss them so much. But as time went by, we all found our own groups of friends, we moved onto more important, self-defining relationships - helloooooo boyfriends, and I guess we all just drifted apart. No fights, no drama... just time doing its thing coupled with a bunch of taken-for-granted lazy excuses not to hang out because we were always "too tired" or "rushing for a group project".
Separated by silences over messages, and the other separated by seas and land - we barely keep up with each other. The only way I know how they're doing is through social media platforms and that's it. They're always the people I still genuinely care for but lately, I've been shit at showing concern for anyone but myself. 2016's been a bit lacking in the department of showing care and appreciation to the people around me. I'm working on it.
But today, they both thought of me and dropped me texts wishing me good luck for exams. Despite all three of us being completely rubbish at replying messages, the fact that they even managed to search my name, because our chat is probably wayyyy down in their whatsapp homepage, is such a thing that I should be grateful for.
UGH I was just telling Jodie that I can't even remember what it felt like when I was living alone in College Square and I really can't remember how I spent most of my time before Jodie moved to Melbourne.
But today, I just remembered that my time in college square was spent knocking on the doors of my friends living there, having dinner together, making mulitple froyo runs and having running man marathons in my small, but cozy little apartment.
It's amazing that time flies so fast and in 14 days, I'm done with my undergrad studies.
