When I was 16

To be honest, the bus ride back was very boring - I was half asleep the whole way, so I won't go into that now. It's been too busy this morning... I was silly enough to hope it was a slow day, so here's my punisment. But YAY, it's friday and tomorrow I don't have to wake up before the sunrise :)
One question that I pondered during the bus ride though was "what has been the happiest time of your life?" Well, I have to say that I am quite happy at the moment, I have everything one can ask for. Well, I'm not a millionaire nor do I have a great job or a car, but do I want to? Not really. The only thing I would change though is my age. I would like to still be 21 and have all the benefits people under 25 have. Now that I've grossed the magical line of 25 I have to pay double of almost everything there is, and I think it's not fair... I'm not any richer from what I was last year but I'm still travelling as much. Youth is wasted for the young indeed... But I don't want to sound like bitter old spinster who complains about everything that there is about young and beautiful people, I will keep on being young no matter how old I am, I just have to pay more (grunt, grunt).

But back to the subject "happiest time of your life"
If I have to choose another moment of my life than today I think I'd have to say it was the time when I was 16 and had just started to go to upper secondary school. Years before that were totally insane, I had the worst first teenage years a girl can have. (Maybe I can write something about it at somepoint if I am in the mood for depressing stuff). I had finally changed to another school which meant that I had to find completely new friends as well. The whole first year was great. I loved everything about it and even early mornings felt allright. After school I was taking part to a school theatre productions and I also went to my dance lessons, which made my life very busy. In school there was a boy (duh, of course there was, I was 16) who smiled at me in the lunch room everytime I saw him. He was a funny looking boy with a pointy nose. I think it was the pilosophy glass when he came to sit next to me and that was the beginning of a great friendship that lasted for a year. Everyday after school we went to wonder around the town and do silly things. He showed me places where I had never been before and every single day he walked me to my bus stop. People were saying that we were a couple but I guess they knew better than us because we considered eachother just friends. Sometimes he got off from school earlier than me but he always waited for me, sometimes even for few hours. I know his friends were teasing him because of that, but he was always there waiting for me with his bright yellow bike. He was a real goofball and he was always making jokes to make me laugh. We talked about everything there is under the sun and we were the absolute best friends. Year went by really quick and I knew that the following semester I had to change schools. I had to go to a school that was nearer to where I lived. On the final day of school before the summer holiday this boy walked me again to the bus stop. We talked about things as we always did but when the bus came he gave me a kiss on my cheek to say good bye. The whole bus ride home I was like in a trance, all these feelings came out and I realized that I was madly in love with him and he must have been madly in love with me too. Sadly though this story doesn't have a happy ending. We met each other probably once during the summer holiday and lost contact after that. But I am glad I met him, he is one of the good memories in my head which I hope I never forget, it's a memory from the time when I was young and pretty and when there was not a single worry in my head, or if there was it was probably about what color lipstick suits the best for me or what kind of clothes I should wear the next day. After that semester my downfall started and for few years I was a total misery for my parents, I'll tell you about that some other time, now I need some food :) Fairwell ...
