Hello everyone

Last night was a special one – a long-awaited reunion with my childhood buddies. We'd stayed connected online but hadn't seen each other face-to-face for ages. Since elementary school, we'd been tight, but life pulled us apart after graduation. Jobs, families, you name it – we were all caught up in our own worlds.

But this year, something clicked. It was Songkran Day, a rare occasion when work didn't bog us down. So, we decided to make the most of it and meet up. There they were, my old friends, their faces lighting up as they caught sight of me. We embraced, laughing and exchanging stories as if no time had passed at all. Despite the years and miles between us, the camaraderie we shared since our days in elementary school remained as strong as ever.

After graduation, life had pulled us in different directions. Careers, families, responsibilities – they all demanded our attention, leaving little room for reunions. But this year was different. This year, fate had aligned our schedules on Songkran Day, a rare moment when work obligations faded into the background, and we were free to bask in each other's company once more.

After about an hour of catching up over drinks at our friend's place, we decided to kick our nostalgia into high gear and head over to the temple fair. It was like a blast from the past, a throwback to our younger days when we used to hit up the temple festival together during Songkran.

The fair was bustling with activity – merchandise shops, kids' play areas, and even Burmese dramas, but we bypassed all that. Our destination was the retro dance zone. Wherever there's a temple event, you can bet there'll be some groovy retro tunes playing.

We were on a mission to relive our teenage years, to recapture those moments of carefree fun we used to have on the dance floor. And as soon as we hit that zone, it was like stepping back in time. The music, the atmosphere – it was all there, just like we remembered.

With smiles on our faces and a spring in our step, we joined the dance floor, moving to the beat and letting loose like we did back in the day. For a moment, it felt like we were invincible teenagers again, without a care in the world.

As we danced and laughed together, surrounded by the familiar faces of old friends, we knew that this was what Songkran was all about – celebrating friendship, memories, and the joy of being together.

We danced our hearts out until the very last song played and the retro dance stage closed down for the night. It was a night filled with laughter, joy, and a whole lot of fun. As we made our way home, exhaustion tugging at our limbs but happiness warming our hearts, we couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful time we'd had.

Songkran had brought us together in a way that felt almost magical, reigniting old bonds and creating new memories. And as we looked ahead to the next year, we couldn't help but hope that we'd be able to do it all over again. We dreamed of more nights like this, where we could come together, dance, laugh, and celebrate the beauty of friendship. With that hope in our hearts and a promise to keep the spirit of Songkran alive, we parted ways, already looking forward to the next time we'd be reunited.

Thank you for your support

How nice that you and your friends got together again, while I was reading I remembered my friends from college, we haven't seen each other for a long time too, I would give anything to spend a day like this with them. 🥹
