'Fortuna'

It really is fascinating how I never seemed to forget the day that I met my friend.

Undeniably, almost everyone is already familiar with the concept of ‘loss’. Whether it is a light thing — just some irrelevant belongings — or a big one — losing a loved one — I think I can somehow say that everyone is already used to the conviction. After all, unfortunately, it seemed like in this cruel world, losing has become a natural trait. There are some instances where losing something has been a part of our lives, but we just refused, or simply did not just acknowledge it.

Eh, all in all, as by my preceding statements, I would say I could confidently believe that all people are already familiar with ‘grief’. A deep sorrow, particularly caused by a heavy loss.

It has always been a fascinating topic for me; grief. At the young age of six, that was actually the first time I was subjected to the heavier part of the term. It was the first time I have seen and experienced death — not for myself, but a loved one. I watched how everyone cried that day, I watched how brutal the mourning process is, and I watched and listened how everyone seemed to never expect the whole system.

Everyone knows how all things in this world have their own end. Yet, seeing everyone’s reaction that day, apparently, it seemed like grief and losing has always been a surprising thing. It could be comparable with the phenomena of having your birthday and expecting some surprises here and there, yet, when the clock hits 11:59 of the same day, no one bothered to even greet you with your event.

Grief.

I am only seventeen. Seventeen. I don’t know why, but for me, I find it really ironic how at my current age — again, seventeen — the things that I grieved for are more than the amount of my current age. No one really knows about it. For all my life, I have been quiet about the mourning I have. Silent cries every once and a while, mind full of doubts and ‘what if’s’ I never had the chance to actually apply, quiet prayers to stop the hostile.

I grieved a lot of things. I grieved how I never seemed to be the ‘best’ version of myself. I grieved all of the past mistakes I made that I couldn’t redeem anymore. I grieved how I seemed to be always subjected to the curse of this world. I grieved all of the things I couldn’t run away from. But above all, I grieved all of the ‘preferable’ versions of myself I never had the chance to become.

Maybe that’s why when this particular friend came knocking on my door when I was twelve, I didn’t have the heart to tell her ‘no’. As someone as innocent as myself back then, I was glad when I met her. Just from the sight, I immediately knew we’d click. The types of friends you meet for the first time and you immediately became the bestest of friends? The one of those very rare, precious, unbreakable, and strong types of friendships? I don’t know with her, but that's what I truly felt when I met her.

I was out of commission back then. In the middle of mourning for myself; hence, it really was more welcomed to have her in my life. I was just actually scrolling silently through my cellphone when she knocked. She waved through the window, letting her presence known. I was hesitant at first; I mean, I already mentioned how I was still grieving back then, so seeing a surprising and an unwelcome presence in my door, it was justifiable that I didn’t immediately open the door.

But as someone that needed a companion, as someone that decided to stop wallowing and drowning myself with an absurd imaginary amount of self-pity I was having, I knew that a companion and a friend was what I needed back then. I am glad I did, though. Ever since I became brave enough to welcome her in my life, it seemed like my life has significantly changed — and for the better, at that.

Turns out, I was right. We both clicked. Although, her visits had started occasionally. The second time she visited me was when I was in 8th Grade. As a reader, I know it is common for all people in the same field to have a sudden desire to create their own piece of literature. It was the thing I had back then. The idea to create my escape, the idea to create a world I can control, the idea to be the one ‘in control’, all of it was too good to be true; hence, I was more than determined to generate one. I was out of ideas at first, though. And at this present moment, re-reading my piece of work, I just realized that it seemed like the whole book I had was due to her since the title happened to coincide with her name.

We actually have a lot of things in common. Our name happens to harmonize; with my name — Leannegail — coming from a horoscope, and my nickname (and pen name!) — Lia — having the same meaning as hers'. I was in 10th Grade the third time she visited me. That was actually the start of her frequent visits. As I've said above, change is inevitable. 10th Grade was also the time where my former school randomly decided to jumble up the sections and students; hence, I was scared when there were almost no familiar faces in the crowd. Good thing that I have her on my side, though. Even without having any sense of familiarity, I have decided to step up. It’s all thanks to her.

I mean, I had a friend. I wasn’t entirely alone. I always felt the warmth of her presence beside me, so the fear was being drowned by her existence.

Her presence has only become stronger as time goes by. Her occasional visits once in a while have become frequent. Soon, annually, monthly, daily, hourly, and not long after; secondly. She is always by my side. By the time I wake up, she’s already waiting for me to open my eyes. She’d always follow me wherever I go. She’d always be beside me and hold my hand as I prepare in the mornings, travel towards wherever I intend and I require to, sit in a classroom, and even before I let myself drift with what seemed like infinite but fortunately a temporary darkness. She is always there by my side. Therefore, it is the very reason why I always felt like I could conquer the world.

However, as I have mentioned before, change is inevitable.

Much like with my other friends, of course, there are going to be some occurrences where she’ll be out of the commission, too. 11th Grade. If I still can remember it right, we fought. I know, I know, it really was my fault that we fought. Some external things that happened — now that I thought about it, it really was kind of foolish how I let all of those things to get a hold of myself, to the point where I even doubted our friendship. I mean, after all of what we’ve been through? Now I know how sadistic I was. She was always there for me, yet I had the audacity to even doubt her? Gosh, I really was awful.

When she was temporarily gone in my life, I somehow always found myself seeking her presence. I got used to it. My Mom and Dad always asked me what was wrong, and since I was at fault, I never had the courage to answer them. That was when I found out how everyone was right, all along. You’ll never know how important someone really is until you lose them.

Unsurprisingly, things have only started to go downhill from there.

Continuous unfortunate events happened to me after she left. I wouldn’t specify any matters of that, anymore, but things have turned for worse. I was kind of back with my grieving stages again without her. I had started seeing everything in a bad way once again, I started cursing the world for being back with my routine, I started being kind of back with my old self again. And as unfortunate as that, I could wholeheartedly and confidently state that it was the one and only familiarity I loathed and I am still loathing at the current.

I got stuck in the middle of an ocean without her. Pacific ocean — or Mariana Trench, even, if I may. Wait, no, I think Point Nemo would fit more. I was stuck at nowhere; helpless, powerless, weak, and vulnerable. Even with the kick of my whole arms and legs towards any location I was intending, it was no more than nothing. Even when I tired myself out with all of the force I was doing, all of it was futile. And with the excruciating cramp of my whole body without any help, it definitely was already too late when I realized that she was the force that binds me with the version I was seeking for myself.

Fortunately, despite of all of what I did, she was a true friend.

To make it short, she came back. It was kind of late when she did, but hey, kudos for coming back and pulling me out of nowhere. With the location of this world that space is nearer than any land, it really was impressive how she was able to find me at that. I immediately hugged her after seeing her once again. The coldness of the endless water was nothing comparable with the warmth that she had. I am almost never the kind of person to allow myself to be outwardly emotional, but at that time? I never even hesitated to tell her all of the things I was grateful for. I also told her that I missed her. I told her all of the things I have realized with the horrible temporary leave she had, and as kind as she always was, she just smiled and hugged me back.

‘Fortuna’

My best friend. The greatest of all of my friends. Do you still remember the time you came knocking on my door and changed my life for the better? There are approximately 7,100 languages and 20,182,852 words in the world, yet, nothing of them could amount to all of the things I want to say to you. I am honestly and truly grateful for having you in my life. I know you already forgave me, but still, I wholeheartedly apologize for doing you wrong in the past year.

‘Fortuna’

My best friend. The greatest of all of my friends. I remember the time you gave me your name. It seemed like it was the trigger for me to be brave; hence, you stayed.

‘Fortuna’

Your whole name is really beautiful.

Fortune always favors the brave.

Meu maior presente é ter justamente meu pai e minha mãe vivos, unidos, se cuidando e esbanjando carinho ! Me ensinaram tudo que sei. Um privilégio poder ver, tocar conversar e falar que amo os dois copiosamente. Deixo aqui minha reflexão para meu "Eu" do futuro : " - Ainda tens tanto a fazer, tanto a querer, tantos desejos a serem realizados e metas a serem batidas... Te conforta, garoto. Já está muito mais perto da felicidade desde que começou a sua caminhada... E ainda mais longe da época onde não podia se quer sonhar com o que queria. Tire essa semana para agredecer o universo, quem sabe ele não lhe agrad(ece)A de volta? Coragem, a sorte favorece aos destemidos. Te vejo em breve, espero por mais conquistas e ovidades. Se cuide e cuide dos seus. - bp.
