It's always tough when people that you care for move away from home. Me and Martin have been friends for the past 5 years, and I feel like we really grew off each other as well. I remember when we were both scrawny teenagers, trying to get the attention of girls. It was a good time, the thing I'll miss the conversations we had regarding our personal philosophies. I've discussed with him at length, from freud to hinduism. Most of all I'll miss calling him up on a random tuesday and spending the next 5 hours talking about life.
One cool memory that I have with Martin is boxing outside his house on a random day. We specifically said no upper cut because we had no mouth guards. I had my guard fully relaxed against an uppercut. We played around for a little bit, but things usually get serious within a couple minutes. A swing there, a swing here, and my guard is wide open. Martin hits a perfect uppercut as a counter, and now I have a chipped tooth.
After highschool, we diverged he went to a different school and I never saw him in a school setting. Martins probably one of my closest friends but I don't go to the same school and we find just ways to hang out from time to time. I have learnt alot from Martin. I like how fearless he is in exploring ideas that may seem esoteric. If it makes sense to him, he'll adopt it, and he won't care about what other people think about it. I feel like that's a very strong quality to have. I'm excited for my friend to start a new chapter in life, it's a bittersweet moment. I'll miss mister money.
