I can remember that

I can remember going to internet cafe back to days when I was at the second preparatory, that time I wasn’t having internet access. At that time then, I was playing an online game “Kalonline” for whom know this famous game when Silkroad was arising.

One of the things made me succeed with the gameplay was my English language was good enough to make instant chats with other people there. Things I personally miss about this days was listening to old Evanescence songs.

I can also remember that I was having a playlist of Evanescence songs on the machine where which I used to play on it. I made a lot of friends from that game and later we turned into friends in real life. Life at a time was a little bit easier, I won’t describe it as it was almost better. Since life wasn’t that much wellness.

Online gaming made my mind to tap into the world of internet, and how can you easily do a lot of things literally at a push of a button. One of our friends, later on, traveled to Germany because of that game, he used to date a girl DIGITALLY of course, from that country.

He was leveling up too quickly because of his smart gameplay and he also know a lot of people there from that game, they were at high levels. Well, sorry that I bragged a lot about small and little tiny details. But the idea of those words is that time was much much better than now.

In terms of anything from the mental and physical state, everything was pretty simple. Nothing was complicated, relationships was a bit easier and smoother. I used to take my 2 Pounds pocket money, then I go to the internet cafe with my neighborhood friends.

When I felt hungry, I go to get myself biscuits for less than 50 piastres. I really miss my childhood friends, this good time, those literal positive vibes. Why life became that ugly at a glance?

Why one day we all went out to play and didn’t go back then?

I can still remember those days as well and I won’t forget.
