As I walk down these city streets, watching the young high school students scurry to get on home on time, I can’t be helped but be reminded about how I was once like them. Though, there were differences, such as I didn’t attend a school in the city. I went to the local public school and I didn’t really have to hurry to get home for it only took around ten minutes to walk back to my domain from the end of our school oval. I usually caught a ride with my cousin’s, often walking through the elementary school next door to pick up my cutest cousin. Actually, we weren’t actually cousins, but it got really annoying to explain what a god brother and god sister was, so we decided to just call each other cousins. It simplified so many things, and we address each other’s parents with “aunt” or “uncle” so it wasn’t much a of a big deal at all.
I continue to watch these young teenagers, as they laugh and joke with one another in such a carefree manner. I once was like that too, but looking at the person that I currently am, you probably would have never guessed it. My manner, attitude and outlook on the world changed dramatically over the years, thanks to one person. How strange is it to think that one person could impact my life so much though we never were directly connected, and continues to affect the way that I am right now.
As I waited at the bus stop, still observing the group of youth not far from me. I spotted a gleam in the eyes of one particular girl, which I only recognized because I also had that look in my own eyes back in the days when my heart was only filled with thoughts of ‘him’. Looking at the girl, I wonder who she held in her heart that she believed was so dear. I could only pray that she would not have the same experience as me.
At last, the bus had arrived and many of the students had rushed on board to score themselves a seat. Lucky for me, there was still a whole seat available by the time I had boarded. I slid across to the window side and placed my bag next to me as the bus merged into the traffic once again. The noise of chatter rose so they could hear themselves amongst the racket of the bus moving along, which gave me a slight headache. I closed my eyes for a second and blocked out everything surrounding me, with my mind taking a trip back in time.
Come with me on a journey into the past.
