When admitting into a new school or college or university, we get to meet our new classmates. We get together. We ge to know each other. We exchange contact details. To make it easier for us to contact one another.
Then, we discovered that most of our classmate have Whatsapp account. So we create a group chat for us. To make to easier for us to rely messages to our classmate. About canceled class. Assignment posted. Homeworks due.
Then, we become closer to each other. Suddenly, this group became our sanctuary. Our place of meet. Even though we are thousands mile apart, we are still together.
A place of information suddenly became a place of happiness. We still use the group chat to rely information. But we used them for another reason too. We use them to talk to each other.
We don’t need to meet with each other. Just with an internet connection, we are together. We chatted as if we are side by side. We laugh. We jokes. We make fun of each other. We became close. Through the group chat.
As the days passes by. Months. Suddenly we have graduated. We did n’t have to attend classes together. We didn’t have to meet each other anymore. Of course there will be goodbyes. Tears. Promises not to forget about each others.
And the groups are still chatty as per usual. For a while. Then, it slows down. We drifted apart. We loss track of each other. We forgotten each other.
There are some who would try to revive the group. But that stop when we get into another college. Another university. Another school. And we started having new friends. New classmate.
The group chat becomes a barren wasteland. With no use, one by one, people started to leave. And at last, the only one remaining participant was you. We started to wonder what went wrong.
The only thing left to do is to click on the button. Everything posted will be gone. Every chat will be deleted. Every memories will be replaced. Delete and exit group.
