A Talk

So my friend Alex came over today after school.

And we did the stuff that friends do.
Hung out, ate some food, watched something stupid on the internet.

But something different happened this time.

After doing all the other stuff, we talked.

About who we have been. We've been through so many things over the past few years; gone over to new friends, left some behind, walked a balance between what was then and what is now.

Alex, you know, he wants to be happy.
He wants to make others happy.
And he's one who can make that choice, and follow through with it too the end.
And maybe sometimes in the past he once left his old friends for new, but he's a man who never truly forgets something that important.
Alex, you make the world a better place.

And I've changed too.
I'm no longer a shy boy forever wrapped inside a cocoon of introversion, so scared of what other people thought that I had to create an alter-ego just so that people could despise that instead of me. I care for people, and try to understand them, and make them laugh, and find what makes them tick.

And we talked about who we want to be.
We want to be happy, we want to help people, we want to reach out to them.
We want one day, to just sit back and look upon days like they were new and full.
