I Felt Free.
Today was like a day no other. A day that totally didn’t follow routine. I did not mind at all.
I did come to my first class, which was Critical Thinking and Logic (one of my favorite classes this term) with Dr. Raj Mansukhani. After that, I would usually meet up with Xavi behind the building of my next class so we could go up at the same time. He told me to meet up with him near Chicboy and he was with my high school buddy, Miggy.
He persuaded me to cut my next class (which was Introduction to Economics, another favorite class this term) for free lunch. I got swayed after a few minutes of thinking. What made me cut my favorite class? Perhaps it was the free food, but it was more than that.
Recently, ever since the younger brother of my friend passed away, I started to wonder on how I was living my life. Yes, I may be living up to my mantra of not regretting the life I lead but is this really the way I want it to be? I stepped out of my comfort zone for a bit, and actually hanged out with my high school buddies. Miggy would then tag more friends along and we had fun speaking in circles and talking shit in diners. Everything was great. I have never felt so free for a long time.
I would then eventually cut my last class (Statistics Literacy) for a 2-hour game of Counter Strike with the pack. I have not felt like a kid for so long. Feels like 2002 again.
Then, I end up visiting my friend’s younger brother’s wake in Fort to see how things are going there. I also got to catch up with a couple of high school friends in the park of the neighboring village. I swear, what a great time to feel like a kid again; nothing to worry about, just living the life you wanted to live.
And to put it in an overhyped quote, but somehow still misunderstood by me: in that moment, I swear, we were infinite.
I don’t even know what that fucking means, but I did sort of feel like I broke loose from the limiters of my infinities.
Then I realized, I’m still not yet ready to die.
Oh well.
