            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And strangely, that is exactly why I love them so much.</p><p>I know life will eventually pull us into different directions. New semesters will come, new environments will come. One day, new versions of ourselves will come too. There will be a time when our conversations are replaced by busy schedules, unfinished work, exhausted nights, and responsibilities we once thought only belonged to adults. Some of us will move to different cities, some will slowly disappear into distance, and some will only remain in old photographs, archived chats, and birthday wishes sent once a year.</p><p>Yet every time I sit beside them, laugh with them, walk through crowded hallways with them, or spend another ordinary afternoon together, a strange feeling quietly appears inside me.</p><h3>I miss them before the moment even ends..</h3><p>Sometimes we are doing nothing important at all, just sharing food, complaining about assignments., laughing too loudly over something stupid, sitting together in comfortable silence. And suddenly I think,</p><h3>“What will happen when all of this becomes a memory..?”</h3><p>That thought hurts more than I can explain, sounds.. dramatic. Maybe this is exactly the kind of thing teenagers always say. But I finally understand why people call high school friendships special ♡</p><blockquote>Because at this age, we love each other in the purest way possible. Not because of money, status, neither connections or benefits.</blockquote><h3>We simply met each other at the same chapter of life, and somehow became part of one another’s growing years.</h3><p>The funny thing is, I never thought I would become someone this sentimental 😂 I used to think of myself as distant and unbotherwd.<br>Not the type of person who gets emotionally attached easily.. I never expected friendship to mean this much to me. But high school softened me in ways I never noticed at first, it taught me how to care more openly. How to become gentler and to love people through small things.<br>Not because I wanted to seem sweet, I just genuinely love them.</p><p>And maybe part of the reason why my heart feels so heavy is because I know this version of life will never happen twice. Because someday, life will become more serious than this.</p><blockquote>There will be bigger storms waiting outside these classrooms, university, work, bills, failure, responsibility, exhaustion.</blockquote><p>And maybe that is why I treasure this so deeply. Because for now, despite every stressful assignment, every pressure, every exhausting school day, my life still feels incredibly full of happiness. I think that is such a beautiful thing, to realize that ;</p><h3>one of the happiest periods of your life is happening while you are still inside it.</h3><p>Sometimes I try to imagine us years from now, and it genuinely scares me. What kind of person will they become? What jobs will they have? Who will they fall in love with? How many children will they raise? What dreams will survive? Which parts of them will change? Which parts will stay?</p><p>I am not even ready to imagine attending their weddings one day.</p><blockquote>Because in my mind, we are still just teenagers laughing in school corridors like time is infinite.</blockquote><p>Maybe I am romanticizing my high school friends too much. But how could I not? They are the people who unknowingly became the background of my youth, the witnesses of my growing years.l, the proof that ordinary days can someday become the most unforgettable ones.</p><p>And perhaps that is what makes this all so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.</p><h3>Knowing that one day we will all leave,<br>while still loving the moment as if it could last forever.</h3><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=c47ba2593e15" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>Ada malam-malam ketika masa depan terasa lebih sempit daripada mimpi yang dulu kubawa dengan begitu yakin. Bukan karena mimpinya hilang, bukan juga karena aku berhenti menginginkannya. Hanya saja, hidup perlahan mengajarkanku bahwa harapan kadang datang bersama perhitungan yang panjang.</blockquote><blockquote>Sejak kecil, aku selalu percaya bahwa setelah dua belas tahun sekolah, akan ada satu pintu yang akhirnya terbuka, Kuliah. Bukan sekadar tempat untuk belajar, tetapi tempat di mana semua perjuangan terasa memiliki tujuan. Tempat di mana lelah orang tua, bangun pagi, nilai, lomba, dan semua usaha kecil yang selama ini dijaga, akhirnya menemukan jawabannya.</blockquote><blockquote>Namun semakin dewasa, hidup berubah menjadi sesuatu yang lebih rumit. Aku mulai sadar bahwa tidak semua orang diberi kebebasan untuk bermimpi tanpa menghitung. Ada yang harus memikirkan biaya sebelum cita-cita, harus mengecilkan keinginan sebelum sempat memperjuangkannya. Silently, i’m one of them.</blockquote><blockquote>Aku mulai membiasakan diri untuk tidak berharap terlalu jauh. Tidak terlalu berani menyebut nama kota, tidak terlalu lama melihat kampus impian, tidak terlalu percaya diri mengucapkan jurusan yang sebenarnya kusukai.<br>Bukan karena aku tidak mampu, aku hanya takut kecewa pada sesuatu yang belum tentu bisa kugapai. Lucunya, semakin aku mencoba menurunkan mimpi-mimpiku, semakin aku sadar bahwa ternyata aku memang sangat menginginkannya.<br>Aku ingin belajar lebih jauh, aku ingin bertemu banyak pikiran baru, banyak kesempatan baru, dan versi diriku yang mungkin belum sempat tumbuh jika aku menyerah terlalu cepat.</blockquote><blockquote>Tetapi di saat yang sama, ada rumah yang selalu memenuhi pikiranku. Ada orang tua yang sudah terlalu lama bekerja keras, ada adik-adik yang masih membutuhkan banyak hal, ada rasa ingin segera membantu, segera meringankan, segera membalas semua yang selama ini diberikan dengan penuh pengorbanan. Kadang aku bingung, apakah aku sedang mengejar mimpi, atau sedang belajar mengikhlaskan mimpi itu sedikit demi sedikit.</blockquote><blockquote>Namun satu hal yang tidak pernah berubah, aku tidak pernah marah dilahirkan di keluarga ini. Justru karena begitu besar rasa sayangku pada mereka, aku ingin menjadi seseorang yang bisa membuat hidup mereka lebih tenang di masa depan. Aku tidak pernah benar-benar mengejar kemewahan, aku hanya ingin suatu hari nanti, keluargaku tidak lagi hidup dengan terlalu banyak kekhawatiran.</blockquote><blockquote>Dan mungkin, itu alasan mengapa aku masih bertahan sejauh ini. Karena cinta membuat seseorang terus berjalan, bahkan ketika dirinya sendiri sudah lelah.<br>Jadi kalau suatu hari nanti semesta benar-benar memberiku kesempatan untuk melanjutkan pendidikan, aku akan menjaganya baik-baik. Aku akan belajar dengan sungguh-sungguh, akan mengingat setiap malam yang pernah membuatku takut kehilangan masa depan.</blockquote><blockquote>Dan kalau ternyata hidup membawaku ke jalan yang berbeda terlebih dahulu, aku harap aku tetap tumbuh menjadi seseorang yang mampu membanggakan keluarganya, sebab aku ingin percaya, bahwa semua keraguan ini bukan akhir dari cerita.</blockquote><blockquote>Bahwa setelah semua takut yang kupendam diam-diam, masih ada hal baik yang sedang menungguku di depan sana.</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/500/1*TShQwp_ULCeHh8KqVrftJA.jpeg" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=179abc439c61" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
