One Chapter Ends

I was just looking at the photos from my graduation and I smiled as my mind became flooded with wonderful memories of the people that I have been with all those years but a slight pang of regret surged through me when I realized that I had not made the most of the opportunities that I was given.

For half of my high school life, I had been a reserved person, not wanting to put myself on the spotlight and risk being intrigued. I kept my distance from people and only stayed with those whom I can really connect but now I know that the best bonds are built on honesty and openness.

The strongest connections start with just a tiny spark of familiarity. I came a long way from my hostility and I owe it all to my best friends from high school.

They surely dragged me out of my comfort zone which was quite difficult but they pulled it off. I am blessed to have known such genuine friends and I know our bonds will last forever.

Graduating from high school was definitely one of the happiest and saddest moments of my life. It was the happiest because at long last, we finally crossed the finish line. We had achieved a great milestone in our life and would go on our separate paths of destiny.

Yet this is exactly why it is all the saddest because we might not see each other again for many years to come. But all the same, I came out of it stronger and wiser, partly due to my classmates and teachers and partly due to the inner changes I went through.

Now, all that's left for us is to forge our own paths and hopefully, someday soon we will be able to see each other again. Kudos MSHS Batch 2013!
