With him it was always so comfortable. No expectations, no need to be this or that, just be.

"What do you want to eat?"
*shrug*
"Hm, how's sushi?"
"Okay."

The simplest conversations. The more convoluted shit just pushed aside, when it came to seeing each other, life just calmed down, everything was ignored and they would both pretend that such meetings were commonplace, that it wasn't a rare occurrence that if LUCKY would happen once a year.

Grocery shopping. It used to be one of the things they loved to do.

Oo, pick that cereal, I love it.
Hey, want to eat mackerel tonight?
Okay.
What about some oysters?
Oo, okay.
Oh, let's get some orange juice.
Can we get some soybean milk?
Sure.

Pile up that shopping cart. Struggle with the countless plastic bags we have to drag to the car. Bring it all to the apartment and stock everything into the fridge.

I forgot. I forgot I had to leave back to Seoul the next day. I forgot that all those things we bought, all those things I asked you to buy because I liked them, it would just go to waste because I was leaving.

Sitting on that coachbus back to Seoul, all I could think about was how you'd open up the fridge in an empty apartment, see all the shit I forced you to buy, and watch it go to waste over the next few days because you never eat at home or cook for yourself when I'm not there. Maybe you'd take out a carton of soybean milk and sit on your chair, your one piece of furniture and look at the one photo you have decorating your apartment, the one of me and my brother, your children... the people you love most who you never get to see.

I miss you.

Parent blog? I approve of this trend. Lots of people are living independently and would really miss being around awesome parents.

thats an awesome part about tru good relationships (be it friend or family)

even if u don't see eachother for a long time

when u finally meet its just naturally back to normal chillin for whatever time u have

UNLIKE e-sports events where everyone is like HEYYYYYYYYYYYY SO GOOD TO SEE YOU HOW ARE YOU!?!?!?!?!! to people they barely know 24/7

!

And of course, the last line. Nailed it.

Reminds me so much of me and my brother who grew up 14 years of fighting every day, then one year apart when he's in boarding school and i'm still home, when he came back everything was the same. Then 3 years of boarding school together and its just back to the norm. Now 3 years of college not having seen him when I have the chance to go home and visit its as if nothing has ever changed.

But everything has changed.

I see my parents every couple of months or so, today was one of those times. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing them age, and yet I think it's one of the more beautiful things in life to get to really know them well, not as parents but as people. There comes a time when they are no longer simply authority figures or guardians, but rather fallible humans, replete with foibles, anxieties, weaknesses. Be it mackerel or unconditional love, how much they give!

Smix made me cry.

trufax.

I'll probably cry again later when my replay is saved, because it will remind me of this blog.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

it's the exact opposite of deep

No crying but breath caught in my throat and I thought about things for awhile.
Thank you for that.
