Anyway, I had a good time there. Laid on the beach, hung out with my friends and danced a lot. But somehow, it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. And I don't know why. There was one evening, the eve of the wedding actually, when everyone decided to hang out by the beach after dinner. It was about a kilometer away from the main beach. Away from all the lights and all other tourists. Pitch black. Everyone set up the fire and their drinks while I walked by the beach by myself. I looked up and millions of stars twinkled at me, like they held some kind of divine secret. I smiled to myself and sat down in the sand.
For the rest of the evening I sat there by myself and looked at the stars. While the soft waves touched my toes and I heard people's voices in the distance, I wondered why it was that I didn't want to join them. I couldn't come up with an answer.
And then I saw a shooting star. I've seen shooting stars before. But this time was different.
Because this time, I closed my eyes and made a wish.
On a separate note, my good friend from work T. told me that I looked really nice today. I didn't expect it so I got all awkward and forgot to thank him. I feel terrible.
