Yesterday I was at the park with my hanai grandmother for over 5 hours at the park. We were just talking and relaxing and eating good snacks.
But there was something she said.
She said I am more subdued and less hyperactive ever since my best friend died.
I had no idea.
There are different phases in my life I have gone through and I are all these phases as different individuals than myself. For example I remember being 10-14 and I see that phase in my life as a different person entirely.
Well, when I look at me before my best friend who yeah tbh I admit it I was pretty in love with died
I see a different me. A younger me despite her death happening less than a year ago.
I have spent so long reflecting on her and her family and our shared friends and how they were affected -
I never even began to think of how it affected me.
