our akademia days ( Kaveh X Al Haitham)

the big change

After that evening my life was different simple stuff like I had more time in the morning since I didn't need to brush and style all of my hair but
I had been happier then I had been in years it did take some time to get use to not being surrounded by people 24/7 it was nice though.
I had always had giant groups of friends and I never realised how much more stressful it was to keep up with so many people and never realised how much I actually enjoyed silence and staying in. Don't get me wrong I love hanging out with people and it is always fun but I had burnt my self out from being in social interaction all day everyday and it allowed me to realise that there needs to be a healthy amount of alone time but also socialising. I am also the kinda guy who would rather go out and have fun unlike Al Haitham but just give him a book and his headphones andhe will be fine.
But it wasn't all good, people did start to look at me more, partly from my new look to the point people thought I was a new student. Which I understand it was a big change and I told no one about it but then again if you told me I would have done that I probably wouldn't have believed you.They also started to know me as the ' one who left his friends for a weirdo '. Which was demeaning and did make me question my faith in humanity but after visiting the akademia a couple times by now, that it just seems to be that it's just a lot of insecurity. The people who go to the akademia want to succeed in what they want to do with there lives but still want to enjoy the prime of there lives which I don't blame them but when stress kicks in just drives people apart. I have talked to some of my former friends and most of them don't talk anymore, they all argued so much that some even dropped out of the akademia all because they never took it seriously with there pranks and parties.
But I think it is just a general experience since me and Al Haitham went through during a thesis project but I don't want to reminded of that time especially now, since it is the biggest regret of my life to this day and probably for the rest of my life
