Simple Bitisho: Having A Moment

So today I had a relaxed day caching up with a close friend of mine. I haven't seen her, in what feels ages! We had so much to talk about. We've been friends since secondary school. And now were both in college we aren't able to hang out as much as we used to. I found out some interesting things about other classmates and what they've been up to. I've discovered some shocking things.. It so funny to see how quick things change when you graduate. I'm very grateful that I wasn't hyped to be the 'popular' or 'cool' kid in secondary school. Most of them aren't really in a good place now. And then those who were considered not so interesting or in my eyes normal, are doing quite well. I just realized that the most important thing in life is to focus on the path that makes you happy and gives you opportunities for later, then focussing on a status of popularity in your teenage years.

Vandaag heb ik lekker bij gekletst met een goede vriendin van mij. Ik heb haar, in wat voelt, geen tijden meer gezien. Wij zijn sinds middelbaar bevriend met elkaar. Nu wij allebei op verschillende hogescholen zitten, zien wij elkaar niet meer zo vaak. Het was leuk om te horen waar iedereen van onze vorige school aan toe is. Ik heb echt schokkende verhalen te horen gekregen. Positief als negatief. Op zo'n moment besef ik dat ik super dankbaar ben dat ik niet tot de 'populaire' mensen wilde behoren. De meeste van hun zijn niet op de plek in hun leven waar ze willen zijn. Terwijl de mensen die gewoon zichzelf waren op middelbaar het nu gewoon goed doen.

Besides that I went shopping for plates, glasses, cutlery, etc. I never realized that these thing were so expensive. In a weird way I'm becoming the person that I thought I would never become. Becoming really cautious with money. It's a good thing tough, because I really need to start saving money.

Daarnaast ben ik wezen winkelen voor borden, glazen, bestek, etc. Ik had echt geen idee dat die dingen best wel aan prijzige kant zitten. Zo leer je elke dag iets nieuws!
