Even if you are reluctant to say goodbye, you should be grateful and wave goodbye.

01

I know that some people will leave sooner or later.

I understand that some people will definitely come.

There are rumors that in China, if one person wants to meet another person, the probability of this happening is about 1 in 10 million, and the probability of these two people becoming friends is 200 million. one.

I don’t know how such calculated data is obtained, but I still believe that it is not a simple matter for two people to meet, and if these two people can become friends, then It’s even more difficult.

Because the world is so big,

There are too many people in our lives.

Each of us, every day, will meet many people and forget many people. There must be only a handful of them that can be left in our memories.

There will always be some people who slowly disappear into your world as time goes by. Maybe it was when I turned around inadvertently that I realized that the person who had been by my side and knew everything about each other was no longer around.

Just like the long wind swimming across the sky, leaving only a trace of warmth and coolness.

Although we have walked together for a long and short journey, in the end we will still face farewell because of our respective choices.

Some of the people we met have had many interactions with us, but they walked each other's paths. We only passed each other a few times at the forks in the road. Some people have no communication with us, just look at each other and smile, and then separate.

Some people say that missing is a kind of pain, loving is a disaster,

and memories are the most beautiful but also the most tormenting things.

One night, before going to bed, I was bored and scrolling through my friend space to try to get sleepy. Suddenly I saw a post from an old classmate that popped up. I clicked on it and watched it for a few minutes. The article is about the story between two good friends. They talked about everything from the time they first met when they were studying to the time they separated due to work and love.

Afterwards, the two met at a friend's banquet. The two never drank until they burst into tears. Reminiscing about the many years we have spent together, starting from many small things, bit by bit, like wine in the throat, trickling through the stomach.

It turns out that there are indeed many people in this world who promised to be forever, but will become alienated and alienated due to separation and no contact for a long time.

From the most familiar to the seemingly unfamiliar, time never seems to show mercy to anything.

As time goes by, we are all minding our own business and hanging out with the small circle around us. It has been a long time since we have contacted our old friends. It has been so long that we have stopped talking to each other, and it has been so long that we can no longer talk.

I opened QQ again and browsed the spaces of several high school classmates. I found that most of the classmates’ space updates were no longer updated. The message boards and so on were all stuck in a certain month in 2016. Some classmates The message board almost stopped around the time I graduated from high school.

What’s more, the space is completely blank.

Maybe later, when I occasionally saw my own messages, like many people, I felt childish, so I cleared those messages.

As for those message boards that have no blank space, even though they are just a few simple and repeated words of encouragement, scattered funny jokes, and a few tender lyrics, it seems now, Still not that interesting.

However, in all the text gaps, you can feel the strong meaning of time.

03

The time gap has been nearly five years.

When I thought back to that entire period, I suddenly felt like I had never been to high school, as if I had no memories.

After I transferred to high school, there was a long period of time when I didn’t like to talk out loud. In the past three years, I had only a few true friends, and it seemed that I had never been able to integrate into the circle of other classmates.

When graduation was approaching, the class finally held a party. It took a long time for the new English teacher to apply to the class teacher. The English teacher asked us to take the monthly mock test. First.

In order for the party to go smoothly, many students memorized textbook words abnormally during that month, and various notes flew all over the table. Fortunately, they finally got their wish.

In fact, we later found out that the head teacher had already approved the application as an English teacher and just asked her to find a reason to motivate us.

I remember that day I sang a song called Old Boy. After preparing for more than half a month, some classmates asked me to sing this song to practice at the KTV. They all said that you sang this song very well. I thought at that time that I must leave an indelible impression on my classmates with this emotional song.

But just like in that old boy’s play, when it was my turn to play, the playback software for the multimedia computer got stuck, and then I played without background music and the noise of my classmates debugging the computer. He just hummed a short part of the prelude and then slowly returned to the desk.

The high school life was uneventful,

The silence continued until the last New Year's Day party.

Those who accompanied me at that time, where are you now?

Three years of high school ended in this sentence that was not even half-sung.

Perhaps some students will still remember my embarrassing scene at that time. Maybe everyone just skipped it in their memories and didn’t even remember anyone singing such a bad song during the party. After all, everyone was happy that day.

Think about when you graduate from college,

There will really be many coincidences in life,

what you have experienced, I actually want you to review it again.

At the graduation reception in June, I was coaxed to play by my college classmates and changed to a song by Hacken Lee's Red Sun. The same situation happened again, there was no background music, but the only difference was that this time I Finished the song completely.

Although I was still nervous and sang wrong lyrics and out of tune, the atmosphere was not as cold as the old boy's time.

I just regard singing as a little hobby of my own, and I also regard this little hobby as a way to integrate into their circle. When you do something, you don’t need many people to like it. If you have people supporting you, you will feel good.

That time, I ended up singing a cappella, and the songs I had bad sung in high school came back to me.

Maybe it’s an implicit reward for past regrets, I think.

But for all this, of course, I should thank all my friends who support me.

Many times, we don’t just step out of the crowd just to show off. At the right time, it is a pleasure to give yourself one more chance to redeem the regrets in your memory.

If you knew my past, you might be surprised by my present.

So, my friend, thank you,

for listening to me tell so many jokes that don’t sound funny,

Listen to me and watch so many movies that you may not like to watch.

Fortunately, I have you, so that I can complain when I fail and feel sad;

Fortunately, I have you, so that I will not be so lonely.

Even if we are separated now, we will cherish the kindness of the past

Thank you again for accompanying me through those years

We will definitely meet again in the coming year
