I want an apology

I’m not really sure how to answer this question because I don’t really care for apologies but I guess if there’s one thing I’d want an apology for It would be something that happened towards the end of my freshmen year in high school. I had a best friend and we would talk everyday. Although somewhere along the line my best friend started drifting away from me and the rest of her friends because it was a group of friends we had. We didn’t know why she was being distant but then at one point she told us that it’s because her boyfriend didn’t want her to hang out with us anymore. Me and the rest of the group felt betrayed, even though we understand her circumstances it would still be nice to hear an apology from her because to leave a group of friends that has had your back for 4 years because of your boyfriend is kinda messed up.

⭐️Visiting the old me

If there was an old version of myself I would want to revisit it would be my 8th grade self. My 8th grade self in my opinion was my best self. My 8th grade self didn’t have a care in the world, didn’t really have responsibilities, and my most favorite part of my old self was that he didn’t care much about what people thought of him he only cared about making people happy and having fun and smiling as much as possible. My 8th grade self was the version of my self that cared the absolute least about what people thought of him. Now I’m not saying that the person I am right now cares about what people think, but it is a significant amount more than I used to and I would just like to go back to having peace of mind.

⭐️Unfamiliar familia

I would love to know more about my grandfather. I’ve never met him, but I’ve always seen him in this one picture and he looked exactly like Obama. I would learn more about him by asking my grandma since he passed when my mom was only 2. The only problem is I can’t speak Spanish all that well so it would be hard to communicate and my grandma now lives in the Dominican Republic after she retired. Knowing about my grandfather would change my understanding of what it means to be a man because my dad has never been real that much apart of my life and I know that he isn’t the model of a man’s man. Not only that but he’s my grandfather so if I met him I feel like we’d have an awesome relationship. He looks like a really cool guy.

What’d you say?

I would like to know more about the arrest of a rapper named 21 savage. I heard about it on Instagram and they said he was being arrested because he is from the U.K. and has an expired Visa. Although I don’t really buy it because 21 savage is now 26 years old. Not only that but he has been arrested twice before and they didn’t say anything about him having an expired visa but all of a sudden they bring it up now. I could find out more by looking at various news outlets because this rapper is pretty famous and I could talk to my friend Thomas because he is a big 21 savage fan.

⭐️The persistence of memory

The artwork that has always stuck with me is the painting by Salvador Dali named the Persistence of Memory. The painting features a number of different clocks that all seem to be melting. I’m not sure why it has always stuck with me but it always has made me think where his head was at when he made this. The way I’ve always interpreted it is that memory is so elusive and very precious which is why I believe he used a clock. The clocks are all melting which shows the slow process of forgetting the memories that are most precious to you the bigger the clock the slower it melts. I’m not sure how but it’d lie to know more about where Dali’s head was at; everywhere I look they say that he would paint what comes to him during his dream but I believe it was some of that but I just know that that’s not all that went into the painting.
