Just recently
Before I went abroad, I had two close friends, and our relationship was like glue, and we talked about everything. In class, we discussed difficult problems together, and during recess, we laughed and played, enjoying the enthusiasm and madness of youth. However, when I decided to study abroad, our intersection began to slowly dwindle and common topics gradually became scarce. I tried to grasp that camaraderie, but I couldn't do it.
Gradually, our efforts became uneven, as if they didn't care about the fading away of the friendship, and those intimate moments seemed to be just a passing moment. On the stage of friendship, I seem to have become a "licking dog" in the eyes of others. But in my heart I just want to maintain this hard-won friendship, am I really doing something wrong?
Thinking back to my first encounter in high school, I was actually a person with some social phobia. Online, I may be able to speak freely, but in reality, I have become submissive. However, it was at that age that I met M. She took the initiative to talk to me, and our friendship began with a sentence of "You like Yuno too". She was enthusiastic, always taking the initiative to chat with me, buy snacks, discuss topics together, and go home together after school.
We would also throw away our umbrellas on rainy days, run in the rain, and go home wet to be scolded by our parents. On holidays, we would go to each other's homes to study and watch anime and laugh together. We share the secrets of our hearts, and we will reconcile after arguing. We have similar interests and complementary personalities, and we have become friends who talk about everything.
Later, we got to know S, a girl who seems to be well-behaved but is full of shocking ideas. The three of us got acquainted with each other in the argument and became inseparable good friends. At that time, our relationship was as solid as a pyramid, and no one could break us apart.
However, in my sophomore year of high school, my family decided to send me abroad to study. I started to get busy with various exams, took frequent time off, and missed a lot of school time. Gradually, I talked less and less about them and began to stop overlapping my study and life circles. I can no longer spend the same days with them as I used to do after school, chatting, and sharing life with them.
I tried to make up for this distance and take the initiative to participate in their topics and share anime with them. But no matter how hard I tried, the intimacy between us faded away. Our friendship is a little more deliberate and less casual. They were struggling to brush up on the college entrance exam, while I was wrestling with the TOEFL, SAT and other exams. We have less and less time to communicate, and we are drifting apart.
In the second semester of my sophomore year and junior year of high school, I completely detached myself from school life and concentrated on preparing for the exams abroad. Although I think of them from time to time, our communication has become very limited. I know that we have lost common topics and experiences in different learning circles.
Looking back now, that friendship remains in my heart like a beautiful memory. Although we have drifted apart, I am still grateful for that time and for the companionship and support they have given me. Perhaps, this is the price of growth. We will meet new people and start a new life, but that time of youth spent with them will always be etched in my heart.
Before I set out on my trip abroad, I had two close friends. We have shared the laughter of youth, discussed the confusion of school, and even experienced those youthful and frivolous times together. But when I decided to embark on this path to a foreign land, our world began to change quietly.
Gradually, I found that we had less and less topics in common, as if the trajectories of each other's lives had begun to diverge. I tried to cling to those fading threads of friendship, but no matter how hard I tried, they slipped out of my hands like sand. I began to feel a sense of helplessness and loss, as if our friendship was slowly becoming strange and distant.
I know it's not their fault. Everyone has their own lives and choices, and I can't force them to keep pace with me. But my heart is still full of reluctance and regret, because I really cherish the time I spent with them.
Looking back now, those days seem like a dream. The time we spent together, the laughter and tears we shared together, have become the most precious memories in my heart. Although we have drifted away, those fond memories will remain in my heart forever.
Perhaps, this is the price of growth. We will meet new people and start a new life, but those who have accompanied us through our youth will always be the most unique existence in our hearts. Even if we can't be as close as we used to, I will cherish that friendship in the bottom of my heart and be grateful for the warmth and companionship it once brought me.
Before I decided to embark on the path of studying in a foreign country, I had two confidants, and we had walked through the school days together, sharing each other's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. In those days, we supported each other, faced academic challenges together, and felt the passion and vitality of youth together.
However, as the plans to go abroad took shape, I realized that our relationship seemed to be quietly changing. Different life trajectories have gradually made us lose common topics, and the tacit understanding and intimacy of the past have slowly faded away with the passage of time.
I've tried to hold on to friendships that are drifting apart, but every effort seems to be in vain. I understand that everyone has their own choices and paths, and I can't force them to walk with me. But the loss and reluctance in my heart make it difficult for me to let go.
Looking back on that time, I am grateful for the companionship and warmth they gave me. Although we have gone to different lives now, those days spent together are still the most precious memories in my heart.
Perhaps, this is the only way to grow. We will meet new people and experience new things, but those who have accompanied us through our youth will always remain in our memory. Even if I can't be as close as I used to, I will cherish those good memories and be grateful for all that friendship has brought me.
Before I was ready to go to a foreign country for further study, I had two close friends who shared the laughter and tears of our youth. At that time, we were like shadows of each other, inseparable, whether it was playing between classes or hanging out after school, we were full of laughter.
However, as my plans to go abroad progressed, our world began to drift apart. I was busy preparing for various exams and formalities while they continued their studies in China. Gradually, our conversations became thinner and our common topics became scarcer.
I know that the different trajectories of our lives make it difficult for us to be as close as we used to be. I also understand that everyone has their own choices and pursuits, and they cannot be forced. But whenever I think back to the time we spent together, I can't help but feel a faint sadness in my heart.
Although we have drifted apart, I am still grateful for the companionship and support they have given me. Those good memories, like bright stars, will always shine in the night sky of my memory. Even if I can't continue to write the past chapter, I will cherish this friendship in the bottom of my heart as a precious treasure in my life journey.

At that time, we were all together, whether it was a relaxed conversation and laughter between classes or a walk together after school, we were full of deep friendship.
However, as I approached the path of going abroad, our world began to diverge. I was busy preparing for various formalities and exams while they continued to struggle with their studies back home. Gradually, our communication became scarce and the common topic became less and less.
I know that the trajectories of life have begun to fork apart, and it is difficult for us to be as close as we used to be. I also understand that everyone has their own choices and pursuits, and they cannot be forced. But in the dead of night, I still think back to the time we spent together, and a faint melancholy wells up in my heart.

In the days to come, I will continue to move forward with this precious memory and meet new challenges and opportunities.
