just had a talk with ica, on how happy we were when we were so young, when we had close to nothing, but we felt content somehow. i'm feeling nostalgic right now. plus i'm high on sugar and i just can't sleep.
six years passed in a blink of an eye. my former roommate is now residing in banjarmasin. she just emailed me yesterday on how life is very different there, and how she missed home much. i'll reply her email after this, i promised her after all.
six years ago, who would have known that we will end up like this, when our worries back then feel very trivial now. when our problems back then feel very easy to handle now. when all the little things bugging us back then feel very small now.
it's kinda strange to know that six years ago this place felt foreign to me, though i consider this place as home right now. and what's weirder is the fact that i'm accepting it now. that the city life fits me better than the serenity my hometown offers.
what's more amazing is that i've met so many people in the span of six years. like, so many that my 16 year-old self will deem it impossible. and i can talk with them. i can converse with strangers now.
these past 6 years felt surreal somehow. but i'm grateful for it. really. thank you, all of you. :)
