Sometimes, it's really about what you can do, and not about what you can't.
Last night was Babus' last night in town. Right now, he's back in college. You know, I heard that Linlin and Tina get really sad when Kevin goes back to college, and I guess I kinda feel the same way sometimes.
When we were coming home from Barnes and Nobles (I was picking up Prince of Tennis Vol. 23), I asked him if he wanted to do something that night. He said, "Laser tag's fine."
That night, I really hesitated about calling a few people to come with us. I suddenly thought it wasn't something I needed to do anymore. I suddenly thought it wasn't something I I COULD do anymore.
I think it might seem strange to some people, but I've felt out of the loop for ages now, ever since I got back last summer from WM. I thought that somehow, people didn't need my help anymore, so I withdrew from gathering people to do fun things every once in a while. I thought it was just something I couldn't do anymore. Motivation sunk down, and when I had an idea, it just floated in my mind and never left it.
....But then I wondered. If I wasn't going to organize Laser Tag for Babus, no one else would, and he wouldn't be with friends on his last day in town. Would I be happy with that?
No, I would regret it.
So I picked up my phone and started calling people. The words of "Do you want to hang out tonight?" flew out of my mind every single time as if I haven't said it in ages, as if it was yearning to come out in a while. It was short notice, so a lot of people couldn't make it, but it's okay. I'm glad that there were people who came with us.
And we had fun.
I guess this is the way I truly enjoy life- fun, smiles, and friendship, and being a part of it all.
No matter what.
....It's been a while, hasn't it? Hello, it's nice to see you again.
