I found myself indulging in books like I used to, hang with old friends and make a change to my slightly change future. My heart smile a half smile that pleases me, pleases me that I've begun to change the course of life. Instead of leaving myself dwelling over pointless ideas, I decided to seek the simple clarity and innocence of my past life.
I was driving to pick my friend up from her house and stopped by the traffic light and saw three boys in school uniform walking towards the housing area. I smiled and my mind shifted back three years ago, the boys could've been the naughty boys in my badge three years ago thats walking towards the housing area now,who are considered trouble kids in school. Their style seems the same like nothing changes. Shirt untuck, sling back across their shoulder, long hair and pants that are slipping off their back. It feels like nothing has pass by, but the faces changed, and the time changes things. I smiled and was back to reality when the traffic light turned green. I drove leaving my mark behind.
I turned to park my car at one of the parking bay at my friend's apartment only to walk down the same route I took three years ago to her house. It seemed like nothing changed, yet some changes were obvious at the moment. My driving the car and more independent than I used to, meeting old friends who doesn't go to the same school. It only hit me two days ago, when my friend picked me up in her car for a drink while waiting for her baby brother to finish class. Her baby brother would've been us years ago. I smile at the thought when I drove by high school and squealed that my old high school has a buss stop now. To top it all off I asked if the old lady who sell drinks still does since her baby brother goes there, when she told she's still there I jump inside in happiness to think that some things just doesn't change but remain.
Sudden change in time, I didn't realise how things just pass by so fast. It only felt like yesterday when I was back in high school and next year I'll be graduating with diploma. I smile for the things god showed me, the things god let me see about the little things that surround me.
