Good to be w/ friends and away from the world
Of course I still live in the city. It's just when you are away from your work and everyday life you feel a lot lighter, even though you still have whole bunch of obligations to fulfill and things to worry about.
I got together with 高洁、杨帆、杨鸿、刘晓斌 yesterday afternoon in yangfan's parents' new place. We talked a lot and drank a lot of tea. Felt like we were back in highschool. None of us changed too much to recognize, but I know the changes are beneath the skin, or deeper, in your heart. We are no longer the careless teenagers, or college students. Some of us are thinking about getting married, others are trying to figure out a position in this sciety. But we had a good laugh together, talking about all the people we know and exchanging gossips. Being with them made me feel light and high, as if that's all in the world, the laughter and the memory, no work, no angst, no disturbing reality.
We had beef hotpot together for lunch again, talking more than eating. Yanghong asked me to check out the old buildings this morning. We walked for a couple of hours in the old town and just casually chatted. It felt good to go out with a Cantonese guy. They paid for everything. It's not the money i am talking about here. It's the attention and the care. You are a special one. And if you are a girl, a guy would always make sure that you don't need to worry about the bill or how to get home. I miss this a lot.
I have to say I admire the courage and the undying passion for life from my childhood friends. They are REAL to me, no masks, no lies, no guesses; we say what we think and we care about each other, truly. I am lucky to have them. My only regret is that we won't have that many opportunities to be together. We definitely should though.
But when it comes down to the end, it's all money. If I want to have more time to spend w/ my friends I need to make sure I can support my life at a decent level first. I wonder when I would be able to do that.
I am a born pessimist. Although I try hard to see the bright side of life, I sometimes can't help to be drawn to the dark one.
