I used to be a member of a manga club back 13 years ago.

My friends wanted me to join them because I was

passionate in art and they needed a fifth member to

officially open the club.

I was 17 years old, clueless of what this moment

was for me. Minecraft was getting popular back then

and my friend Frank and I played the shit of that.

While we weren't at the club and etc..

After a year of practicing manga art, and yet turning into more cartoony style.

We all begun our journey as a club through that time.

Frank was the musician, Caro was the leader, mary was the talented one,

Tifanny was the spark of the group. Always bringing new ideas and all that..

And I was the jack of trades.. Literally.

Through time, the club become somewhat famous among the city..

We started small.. Then 10 people were there.. 20.. 30..

Til we reach 40 or etc.. It was actually scary.

Everyone wanted to be in the club, even the none artistic ones..

That was the new "Problem" for us after 3 years of getting somewhere.

But that's why we took some time to get out of the comfort zone

and went to camping all together.

We made like 3 manga magazines.. We got in few newspaper

in the local cities.

But, like anything that is great.. It wasn't going to keep up like this.

The place we set the club shut down, the funds to keep it alive

and the fact the government wasn't interested anymore

to pay for the art community took a toll over time..

So we all separated..

I keep in touch with few of my friends.. Well I tried..

But if you are a grow up like me, you know what happens

after 10 years of not talking to 30 people you barely

took time to hang out with..

My small group of friends decided to go on their paths though..

Mary become a succesful artist.

Frank is still going strong in music.

Caro become a guy..

And I didn't heard of Tifanny much..

But hey, I wish them the best in life.

Anyway, for my part in this.

I just miss the old time, to be fair.. I wouldn't mind a reunion of the OGs.

We were friends and we never said we hate each others ever.

It's just I lost them while going my way..

I miss them.

Anyway, thanks to anyone who read this.

bye.
