good times gone
life now that we've graduated is frantic and stressful. that's a given. the rare times that we do get to unwind and relax are still vastly different from what we had back then at the tambayan.
life on those stone benches was always easy. i always felt that it was a magical place wherein troubles didnt seem so pressing. it was a place wherein i'd always be safe and be accepted no matter what. it didn't matter what we were up to while we were there. just being there made everything alright. the benches were our home away from home and that was what i guess made leaving to go to class or elsewhere so difficult.
we spent so many hours just wasting away under the watchful gaze of the trees our cares slowly being carried away in the wind.
of course when i go back there now it isn't the same. there is this feeling that i dont really belong now. the tambayan i knew is long gone.
i miss that.
i do not regret moving on tho. life goes on and there are many more changes to face but i'll always treasure the tambayan and what it stood for-
nothing and everything at the same time.
