I was having this Y!M conversation with one of my friend in Dijon, France and he told me how marvelous Paris will be tomorrow because there will be marche de noel..yap, annual event to celebrate christmas, and i am sure it will be so gorgeous, as always…in another window i had my ex-manfriend, who now lived in Oslo, also told me how he and his son and his new partner (that scumbag!!) decorate their home for christmas, well, my manfriend doesn’t celebrate christmas but his new partner (that bitch!!) does, and they decided they loved to putting some lights to make their cute-little-home looks shiny bright like their neighbors, then he said “If you can turn back the hands of time to a certain phase in your life, at which age would you go back to?”
When they mentioned about the joy of christmas in Europe, i kinda flashbacked to 9 years ago, i was thirteen, when i had the chance to experienced the beauty of christmas in europe, for exact, in Antwerp, Belgium as an exchanged student…i can still remembered that day, i trackbacked the flat me & my family’s used to lived in, yes i once lived there when i was kid, for around 2 years before headed to Brisbane, and finally moved extensively acrossed Indonesia..i saw the flat we used to lived in, and it was still the same old one..i completely stunned, i left the city for years and when i came back it was still the same, even the christmas ambiance is still the same, eventhough i didn’t celebrate christmas, but there were certain things about weeks-to-christmas that’s beautiful, maybe because it was so serene, the weather was so cold that people gather around to get some warmth together, laughed, then the lights in every house, then the fireplace, then the christmas shopping, then i felt like i’ve seen it all, all the memories form my childhood that had gone away suddenly came back..and that moment, when i was thirteen i felt like that was the first time i learnt to lived independently, to embraced myself, to voiced my thoughts, to valued people, to communicated well with others in different languages and style, and i had my eyes opened to see the world.
That’s the good thing about me being thirteen, the others were, i had my first liplock with a boy when i was thirteen, and maybe that’s the point of i believed i am starting to embraced myself to the fullest..if Katy Perry said she kissed a girl and she liked it, yeah, the same thing happened to me when i was thirteen, i kissed a boy and i liked it…i also had my first alcohol when i was thirteen, yes, it was with the boy i kissed.
When i remembered all those things when i was thirteen, i would like to go back to that moment…i wanted to enjoy every goods and bads i did, i just wanted to enjoyed it, i don’t want to changed it..it was a great year and to experienced all those things just made me realized, despite my flaws, i was blessed.
