今日は英語です。

久しぶりにFacebookで大学時代の友達とチャットしました。
学部が同じで、年も一緒で、悩みも似てて。
もう10年くらい前の話で、お互い色々変化があったけど、
それでもまだお互いのペースで繋がり合えるのは嬉しいし
今とは全然違う自分で過ごしていた過去だったけど
『よかった』だけじゃ言い表せない気持ちがそこにはあります。

Just chatted with a good and old friend of mine. It reminds me of the past, tough, fun, and unique period of my life in Hawaii. Because I watched Fijian and Samoan Haka on a TV program of Rugby World Cup, that could be also one reason of how much I miss my past. It pulls me into that period so strongly even with smell and feelings that I feel I am just sensing.

Almost 10 years have passed. I quite some practices that I used to do. I don't see a lot of people that I used to hang out with. I live in a totally different life style compare with this period. I still love my life with my best husband and a precious baby of us. I don't like looking back my past too much. But still, how can I describe what I am feeling now? It is like the past is insisting its existence.

After all, I've just made a conclusion myself; I like my past with good memories and the best friends no matter how I live now.

過去を振り返るのはあまり好きではないけど
そこにはたくさん、素晴らしい人たちとの素晴らしい思い出が
詰まっているんですよね。
思いかえそうとすれば、その時の匂いや感情までも思い出せるくらい。
