Dear my lost friend
it feels like age has made us different, I feel so distant and changed from how I was when I was you. I grew up with certain dreams and now I am pursuing something different from what you have always wanted. I have changed who you were, I don’t know if it’s a bad or good change. When I got to varsity I was so you and unique and now I’m so them and obvious. I go home and wonder if I’ll ever have you back, I look myself in the mirror and I struggle to recognise this me. University has given me so many identities and now I’m struggling to find you. I have met so many different friends from different cultures , and I speak a different language, even my inner voice speaks to me in this language, I think, soliloquize in this language. My dear friend I long to reunite with and forgive me for who I have become.
Your new self
