There was always that one guy in high school, just like in the movies, where he was liked by everyone, brilliant, smart and so genuinely nice and just oozed of this nonchalant laid-back attitude. But what brings me to write this is because I just came across his Facebook and it just made me think of how much I had admired him back in the day. But only from afar since we mingled in different social circles.
But it’s also funny how fate kind of works and bring certain people together, even for however brief of a moment it was. The time spent with him would always be with great memories and filled with a curious wonder. I would never get to know him the way I wished I did since right after high school he left to go to Korea for college. Even though I used to get sad and think “What if?” I also think now that its better that I didn’t get to know him. I feel like it would have ruined this portrayal I had of him, I’m content with those memories I have of him.
Nowadays he hardly comes to mind since its been years since that one fateful summer after high school but whenever he does come to mind, at least its always with good thoughts and it would never be tarnished. And I truly believe that to this day he still has that same good soul I remember and he would bring whatever wisdom and the same attitude he has with him until fate decides to give a little surprise and maybe one day we meet again.
