#throwback

So just recently around a few hours ago, i was reading some tweets and i came by across one regarding nostalgia memories. It said how nostalgia is a liar and that it isn't as great as we remember/ want it to be. It really got me thinking about the past around when i was 8 years old and I couldn't agree more.

So...
as a kid, I had to skip a few morning classes to be able to attend to my medical checkups and appointments every month at least twice. When I was in standard two, I had really nosey/nosy (??) friends who were imo really judgmental as well. They were those classic "princesses". Anyhow, I was still really great friends with the two of them although they overshadowed me for really quite alot of things. But we were all one big group of friends together with 4-5 other girls.
So, as I went into class late, all i remember in my head was that everyone was sitting on the floor listening to something or watching a movie, i really do not remember. And as I entered and sat next to these two girls (I'll just code them C and M), C started giving me that face and immediately whined, "Why are you late like everytime?" So I explained saying I went to the hospital to do some checkup and both M and C were saying "Ew, get away from us! We don't want to be infected with your disease" And I remember them moving away from me. Thank God, I had friends who saw what happened and she comforted me as well. But that wasn't the point of the story.
I'll never be able to forget the look on their faces and what they have said to me. It was indeed hurtful but it made me who I am today, literally. I kept the words they said lingered next to my ears and it was what motivated me to start my cheerleading hobby. Well, I guess when they say everything happens for a reason, no matter how bad it is, it is true because without it, I doubt that I would have become as strong as I am today (mentally).
