People say, there will be memories from someone who will always remain in our hearts, whether that person is a soul mate in our life or first love in the past. What is clear is that this person has a special space in our hearts. I have memories that still leave an impression on my heart, from someone who made me feel how to fall in love for the first time. So, what people say is true. Even though my life goes on, those memories will follow me wherever I go.

I often hear people say that High School was the best time, but for me, the best memory was being a college student. A few years ago, I decided to leave my hometown and go to another city to continue my education. It was there that I met him and new friends with the same vision, who had to be willing to be away from family to pursue our dreams. A boarding house is a place where we unite into one family with a diverse culture.

That year, technology was still not as sophisticated as it is today, cell phones weren't a must-have item, the internet wasn't something to look for, and going to a telephone booth was routine. Fighting and making peace because of different opinions have become daily activities for us. Many memories happened at that time, but the memories from him are still very lasting. He was my temporary home, the most comfortable place to talk back then.

I had forgotten him for a long time, but not with his memories. Memories of going home together with the atmosphere that was so calm and not crowded like now, the cool air and the beautiful twinkling stars. The college days were so beautiful, even though I had to live away from my family, those days were still the most beautiful times in my life. I missed that time, I missed the cool city night atmosphere and I miss you.
