Stop the time when we were 15!! [WE101]

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago (edited)

We were so excited to go to our friend's wedding party who we had been friends with since secondary school. We talked about the old times and laughed a lot.

Since graduating from secondary school, many of us have embarked on different paths. Some of us went to different high schools, some of us changed cities, and some of us even changed countries. That's why we felt so great to catch up on everything and see how everyone's lives have changed since we last saw each other.

15 years later, we're all older but still young at heart. Picture sent by my friend- the beautiful bride Thi Thi and I'm in black with short hair.

Seeing those lovely faces after 15 years reminded me of a sense of nostalgia for those carefree days spent together in school. I wish we were able to come back and stop the time when life was just about hanging out, studying, and enjoying our teenage years without a care in the world.

For many teens, nowadays, turning 15 marks the beginning of their big dreams, plans, and hopes for the future. This is definitely the beginning of a beautiful journey. Throwback 15 years ago, however, we had no idea about the future. Life was simple and there was no internet or smartphones. I remember going to school and seeing these lovely faces was the most exciting time of the day. My friends and I spent every free moment together, sometimes skipping class and not doing homework in order to spend more time gaming or going outside. We all had so much fun and made so many lasting friendships.

Cycling to school every day was always a joy for me and my classmates. The experience of pedaling together and talking as we rode gave us something to look forward to each day. Even though the ride was long and under the heat, it was always worth it to see those smiling faces and had a blast learning together.

As teenagers, we were also daydreaming of finding our one true love. It was a wonderful time when we were filled with innocent vibes and shyness. We fell in love but weren't brave enough to hold hands. The only physical connection we could make was through the paper and ink that held our hearts together.

All of that has changed now; we're all adults with families and careers. But even though we're miles apart geographically and emotionally, the bonds of friendship remain unbroken. ❤️15-year friendship ❤️It's a relationship that has truly stood the test of time, and I'm grateful for it. That's why I want to preserve the time and moment I spent with them.

How truly special, 15 years of friendship is really wonderful, I hope that they get to read this.

Thank you @andrastia. I feel so blessed to have them as friends. ❤️

Hi Trang, how awesome is that! 15 years that is special, long may your friendships continue, the good thing now of course even though we may be miles apart and even in different countries, technology makes it easier to stay in touch.
The bride looked gorgeous as does the lady in black with shorter hair!
Thanks so much for sharing your Time thoughts and have a great new week,

Thank you for your kind words, @tengolotodob much appreciated it. I totally agree, with modern technology, people can text, call, or send emails anytime, anywhere. This makes staying in touch much easier than ever. :)

Wish you a productive week ahead :)

Yes we can stay in touch much easier now.
Thank you and you too:)

You're looking great @trangbaby!

It's lovely when the friends from your younger days remain the closest as you all started off in the same situation and know so much about one another. I'm sure in another 15 years time the gatherings will grow with partners and kids.

Thank you so much Pauline, ❤️

It's amazing how the relationship has only gotten stronger with time. They have taken so much care of me lately. It's a treasured relationship. :) I hope, in 15 years later, we'll have more time to get together.

It's good to have lasting friendships and whilst not all of our relationships last, the few that do are truly valuable.

Thank you Galen, it's a great topic and I'm glad I made it.

Honestly, I find it difficult to form real relationships or friendships these days. I don't know if it's because of the way technology has changed or what, but I just don't connect with people the way that I used to. So our friendship of 15 years is greatly valued.

People are a little more superficial these days, that's maybe where the issue lies? I feel the same way as you.

Really beautiful

Thanks.

Looking well lady! The dress is gorgeous and everyone having a happy time!

Do I sense a little poignancy? Memories are wonderful things, but you create even better ones in the future. Look ahead to many, many more years of creating happy memories with your loved ones :-)

Take care always.

I totally agree that memories are wonderful things. They can be a source of comfort, happiness, and nostalgia. But sometimes those memories become too hard to recall and we tend to create even better memories in the future and create stronger ties with those around us.

Thank you @nathen007 for checking, and your kind words. Have a great weekend ahead and see you around :)

@tipu curate

Thank you @magicmonk, really appreciated it :)

I love that you keep in contact with your friends from yesteryear. Some people move on and never look back, but, don't even realize that this was their life. My friends were my existence and my reason for fun. I have a couple friends I have literally known all my life and honestly, they know me before I was anybody but this skinny little blonde girl with pigtails.

So, you can make all the adult friends we want and they are cool.

But, the friends who knew you before being anything other than fun? Those are the best. They never stay the same, but, we have grown together and there is something special about it.

I love your story!

Aww thanks so much for your visit, Sweetie, and am glad to hear you have lifetime friends knowing all about your life and grown together :)

The friends who knew you before you were anything are the best. ❤️ They understand us and they're the ones who will be there when we need them and they'll always be there for a good laugh, right

Exactly ❤️

Oh dear, I didn't cut any classes when I was at that age. I was too scared haha.

It was beautiful, wasn't it? I still remember a teenager boy tried to hold my hand and I immediately reacted against it. Holding hands was a big no no at that time.

Good student, @dora381 ❤️ I just skipped classes a few times, haha, and it was fun :)

Holding hands was a big no no at that time. 😃

Back in that time, haha, we would just look at each other and smile. We didn't want anyone to think we were too close. We were shy but it was pure and innocent. :)

It's always nice to meet again with old friends and talk about past times. This generally gives us fresh air which boost our spirit in a way no other thing can. Quality socializing, I guess. I'm happy you're enjoying yourself :D

Take care and keep on doing good.
