I tagged the logs by emotion, added 'lore' when it was 'a long time' ago and 'anecdote' when I wrote without thinking too much/ it's a light-hearted story. ( again, sorry for my english )
An ancien friend (lore, anecdote, Nostalgia)
When I was little almost every Wednesday, I’ll visit my grandparents for lunch and the afternoon snack. With my cousin, we often used to go into our neighbours’ garden, which was directly adjoining ours. We were playing with ‘Christophe’ (That’s not his real name) He loved tractors and building things; the three of us used to build ‘super-machine’. My memories are a bit hazy, but I do remember the general atmosphere of those afternoons. The last time I spoke to Christophe, I was angry because he’d killed some insects (woodlice). He stopped visiting his grandma -/+ 8 years ago.
Present day:
I saw someone on the bus who looked a looooot like Christophe. We stared at each other for 3 seconds. I was like ‘Oh my God’ aaaaaaannd I didn’t do anything. Two weeks later, I asked my dad for some information in a roundabout way (because he knows his father). Apparently, he’d been sent to boarding school. WHAT? It must be about a month and a half now. Thanks to a bit of research (which took me a whole hour), I’ve found a lead on his surname… But apart from that, nothing. :,)One day, I'll find you Christophe.
The end of a friendship (bitterness, disappointment)
I had an issue with an ‘close’ friend of mine, who isn’t a friend anymore because of this story. For short, I lean an instrument to her, she thought it was a gift and gave it to someone who ‘needed’ the instrument. ( Issue 1 ) So she insulted me (by message). ( Issue 2 ) I would lie if I said it didn’t hurt me.
Honestly it still pisses me off just by thinking about all the things I could’ve said to defend myself more. She never said anything about her feelings towards me ( BIG issue 3) and I didn’t want to speak about it when during the last weeks of the academic year we were distancing awkwardly.
I couldn’t really explain why I didn’t want to continue the relationship before. But now oh I can. I’m really feeling better now, and I’ve learned. Oh an I got my instrument back :) hehe
A crush for 3 years : (anecdote, nostalgia of 2020, being a'otaku', funny)
In 2020, I had a real human crush, besides my virtuals one ( husbandos/waifus).
At the time, I tought the manga community was not big at all, that liking anime was something really rare. Me and my friends were shocked that others person watched the same series, played the same video games (genshin impact) etc.
At Haloween or carnival my friend and I were cosplaying snk characters so we all briefly talked, his fiends were surprised too. ( Maybe there was a part of 'omg girls who like anime ?') But it was a very friendly conversation so I liked him 'cause he liked anime, easy. I loved watakoi/wotakoi ? very much, the romance where the main couple are 2 hidden otakus. The years passed and I was shy around him (normal when you're a teenager) soo my crush faded.
