Memories are priceless things for everyone, especially for students like me. Besides the
good memories that make us feel happy every time we remember it, there are bad memories
that make us regret and torment in the past. Through this essay, I want to tell you about my
old story that makes me feel remorse.

If my memories serve me right, it was about three years ago, when I was a student at Tran
Phu High School, I had a good friend whose name is Linda. She is gorgeous and hilarious.
She is always telling jokes to snap people smile. Moreover, she is a warm-hearted person.
She is willing to lend a helping hand for people who are in need. Therefore, we were best
friends as we always shared sorrows and joys together. However, to the best of my
recollection, my beloved friend was a huge fan of fast food which leads to her overweight
problem. At that time, I couldn't stand her bad habits and said hurtful words to her. I
compelled her to be on diet and showed her detrimental impacts such as diabetes or
obesity. That made her feel upset and she started hating me. We argued on a daily basis, all
of us felt exhausted and did not contact anymore.

At first, I could not understand why she hated me as I just wanted her to become a better
version of herself.
I did not want her to be obesity and everyone would body shaming her that would make her
cry every single day. Until now, I should have been regretful as I recognized that she loves
herself and she likes to be herself. I wish the time could turn back for me to apologize to her.
I lost my soulmate which is really painful and I can not forget it. If it had not happened, we
would have been best friends forever. It had been a long time since we had met and talked,
even though I tried to contact her, she never answered me.

At the end of a day, I believe that just be yourself as you are the better version of yourself
and no one can be like you.
