She Who Became My Inspiration

        I met this person when I was on my 7th grade. I was from Manila, and I just moved to Cavite to start my junior high school life. I still remember the exact moment when I first noticed her as I entered the class. She was laughing out loud at the back, and all the attention of our classmates seem to gravitate around her. But one thing for sure, I never thought that she'll become someone special.

        Although we started on a wrong foot, we somehow managed to work things out in the end. It still amazes me how I still have a lot to discover, despite knowing each other for 5 years already. The more I learn about her, the more I realize how much she means to me. She wasn't perfect. In fact, her flaws can be easily seen. Yet, nothing changed. I still look at her the same.


        Now that she moved to Japan for good, some things would probably remind me of her. The memories that we've made is irreplaceable after all. Us sneaking just to hangout, me tagging along even when she had errands to run, our late-night walks on the way home... Only God knows how much I miss those times. I wasn't even able to bid my goodbye. And so, if one day she comes back, I wouldn't waste a minute to express how much I appreciate her. 


        Because she's not just a friend or a sister. She's my other half that made a big impact on my life. The Art That Inspires me to be better.
