I had one friend and one summer, that all i have, the memory of that short summer where me and my friend played Final Fantasy X on my Ps2 in my old room where i used to live with my parents. Who knew it would be the first and the last summer i had with a friend beside me...

My friends used to travel somewhere, so I was by myself waiting it to end.

Me either before last year. I've been enjoying from fun with the boys as much as possible.
Next summer might be the last summer when I can have the whole three months free.
It feels so good to turn 40 and finally live.

Never had "the boys" never got to live anywhere long enough to grow roots. And now I'm sitting in the dark in my room wondering what I did to deserve it.

It's true, I always look back on those memories so fondly. Enjoy it whilst it happens but be ready for other different but equally as enjoyable memories to be made in the future.

I wish there's a way to aware a good time while you're having it

For me, even more importantly, a bad time.

Hey, stumbled across this and have spent much of my life that I wasn't grateful enough during certain moments. Moments that are seared into my brain and re-think of them semi-often.

I have since learned that that is how to be grateful for those pivotal moments. I relive and long to return to them and that is paying them the tribute they deserve. There's a line but if you are actually "aware" then you can't be truly in the moment. And that is very well part of the nostalgia, we were in the moment and that is the best gratitude and awareness you could give those times.

Have a good one friend.

I hope the gang is alright. I haven't heard from them in years.

You can go back to the past if you really want, but nobody is waiting there for you.

2001 was my last summer.

i recall choosing to not think about the end and just have fun with my friends, and i did up until the very last moment when we were exchanging goodbyes and getting ready for college. we all bawled like the children that we were.

i never had friends ever again like i had with those people. its both a fond memory and a kick in the balls all at once, but i guess thats life.

Oh yeah. My friend group ended one summer a long time ago and no one really keeps in touch anymore. Things ended kind of poorly with everyone. Most of them don't even have Facebook accounts. I will always miss what we had.

“This is the best summer ever! Let’s do it even better next year.”

“Buddy… this is the last summer we will hangout together.”

“Why?”

“We… didnt have the same chemistry as the rest of the group. They decided that they will leave this group. With two of us only, this group will never have the same energy as before.”

This is the conversation between me and the leader of my best group. This conversation happens exactly when we left the event avenue. Now it has been 8 years since then. The leader and me did hangout a few months ago. The rest of the group either lost contact or involved in some other bad group

u/LordBogus 10h ago

There is always 1 bro who pulls the cart

u/MardukPainkiller 10h ago

Yes but we don't call him that, it's creepy wtf

1

u/LordBogus 10h ago

Yeah but its subconsious. And I dont think the guy above calls that guy 'leader' too. Just a way to convey to reddit that he and the guy pulling the cart are the only ones left

u/MardukPainkiller 5h ago
