Sleepover

          Sleepover is one of the best things you’ll experience in your youth. I’m lucky enough that my parents trust me and allow me to sleep over at my friend’s house. The usual things we do when we’re having a sleepover are movie marathon, eat all we can, and talk about anything. Most of the times though, the movie marathon turns into a one movie show. And sometimes, there are a lot of excess foods. 

           One of the best things during sleepovers though is the late night conversation. I somehow think that at night, our brains tend to become more alert and keener to keep the conversation going. During this time, I would get to have a heart to heart talk with my friend and I will know more about what’s going on in her mind. My friend would pour out all her frustrations and worries during the day and I do the same. It can be very refreshing, to have someone open up to you about their problems and at the same time, listen to your problems as well.

           Time flies when you’re having a great time, you wouldn’t notice the time you spent talking with each other. The next thing I know is we both have fallen asleep and I can’t remember when and how. By the time we wake up, it’s almost noon. My stomach doesn’t feel so good from all the excessive eating last night and my head is pounding from lack of sleep due to our heart to heart talk late at night. But for me, all of it was worth it.

           For some, it may be just a mere sleepover, a typical spend-the-night-at-a-friend’s-house. But for me, it’s more than that. Spending a night with your friends can be one of the best ways to strengthen your friendship. This is when you can actually talk about the stuff that matters. Stuffs that would make you think why you were friends with them in the first place.
