Five!

One, Two, Three: Smile!

Captured moment: Five!
 



I used to believe that similarity overshadowed diversity between people. However as time passes, life proves me wrong.

Social networks grow wider, knowledge gets richer, and visions more personal. It is no longer simply playing with whoever sits next to you in class. We start to choose our own friends.

And you will see just how much this choosing will change everything.

I never thought that Taemin and I would grow so much apart because of this, having only one friend in common.

Jinri.

But that is far too weak to hold onto.

And all there is left… Are memories.

 

From all the things I feel regret and nostalgia to the most,
this is most certainly the highlight of them all.
Growing apart from those you share so many precious memories with is something sad, yet I believe unavoidable.
Sometimes, I will ask myself whether I should not have been more assertive in holding onto them,
but then, I realize, it is only when the old things are gone, that the new things arrive.

When I read your drabbles, I could empathize with most.
Lately, I've been growing apart with some of my friends, good friends, that I've been friends with since forever, and that makes me feel very sad. But you say you believe it's unavoidable and I feel that way too. Just that this sadness makes it very hard to just go with it and accept that nothing lasts forever...
Just wanted to let that out.

These are so adorable!

We all have that friend like Taemin and this felt close to my heart cause it feels like everyone must have gone through something similar in life.

Love it!
