Little things make me happy. But the littlest thing this morning made me realize how much I've changed. May added me on facebook. Ok who is MAY?
When I was six or so, some guy came over to my house and he was one of my grandparents' friends. They brought two kids. I remember two girls. I'm not used to company and I was somewhat a strange kid, who was a bit conservative and shy. But somehow, these two ladies (both younger by 2 and 3 years of age) made me feel so relaxed and we hit if off and we played this game where we put four couches into a square and we would jump inside.
We would always meet in parties and when my grandad had to move back to Burma, I thought I'd never see them again until.... 2002, right before I came to Australia. May was in International School Yangon and I was just drifting but we had a blast. She then had her little brother, another addition to her family, called Eddie. Eddie, May and Deedee and I were just one big group of clickness. We all know how to speak Thai and we had the same sense of humor and views on life and all that crap.
Today, May added me on facebook. I did have a huge crush on her in 2003. This was me not knowing whether I like guys or girls. Somehow, checking out her profile made me realize how consistent she's been with herself and how swerved I've become. She's still that career minded person with so much hope in her brain, smart and clever and quite cautious of the life around her. I used to be that until I kinda thought my grandparents and parents don't make sense. I really would love to get back to being that Hein I once was. By checking her out on facebook, I do feel brave and not alone anymore.
Don't get me wrong.. she's got a boyfriend and they both look cute together. I just know that she'll be there to remind me of the Hein I once have been.
