Just One Photo

Just now, while scrolling, I suddenly remembered a classmate of mine — a topper. I was checking out her Instagram profile.


If you’ve read my Phase 1 blog, you’d already know that I didn’t really have any friends during my school life.


Right now, I actually have the Instagram handles of almost all my old classmates — but I haven’t followed any of them.

Why? Because I’m not even sure if they remember me. If they did, maybe they would’ve followed me first.


Anyway, continuing the story — there was this one topper girl in my class whom I had a small crush on back then.

Today, I randomly felt like checking her Instagram again, so I did. While going through her following list,

I came across a school group page. It had lots of childhood photos posted.


I thought, “Maybe I’ll find myself in one of them.”

But I looked through all of them — and didn’t find a single photo of me.

Not even in the background.


It kind of hit me hard — like I really did miss out on the golden days of my life.

It made me feel sad. I just wanted one photo of me from those days… just one.

I feel that. I barely recall being posted on any of my friends’s accounts and kinda just feel like the background character of my own life story. I just got used to it because I felt that I didn’t need to be at the forefront, but it’s painful to see yourself not even being a footnote in someone else’s story.

But you do matter. You just don’t know it yet.

What you wrote hit hard. I relate to that “background character” feeling more than I’d like to admit. That one line, “You do matter” it stayed with me. Thank you for saying that. 💙
