On the day before my birthday four months ago, my friend died. She was buried near the resting place of her grandfather. When I visited and saw the graveyard, I realized she died a few months before he reached the age of me now. I imagined her at the time, with the same life experiences and expectations.
Frankly, I don’t really remember this friend of mine in details. I don’t know what she did other than she was an International Relation student. Because soon after we were graduated from high school, we’re apart. She got scholarship in a university in Jakarta and I live here, in Bandung. I do not know a lot about her. Although yes the fact that she was quite easy going, she only had a few good friends who always stuck together, one fairly obvious parallel line with my life now. Because I was just hang around same friends. But, there is one thing I know for sure. She loved her life and could do anything to live fully. She was a person who never wanted her life lasted for granted. That's what I learned from her. That the passions for life should remain burns, don’t ever die. Maybe what I can do now is to put the shadow of my friend at every step and dedicate my life to her, carry on her dream: live to live. Labels: reflection |
