It's so nostalgic to hear 2NE1's music after all these years. They're going on tour, and I can only wish to experience their music live. Whenever I hear their songs, I'm transported back to my college days at OLFU, especially the times spent with Athena and Gerlyn. Those memories bring so much happiness, even though life was simple yet challenging. I was struggling in school, at home, financially, and dealing with personal issues. But for a while, escaping to Athena’s dorm, listening to 2NE1, and just relaxing was the perfect getaway from it all.

Why do I feel sadness when I listen to them now? Their music is tied to so many core memories. While I know I’m happy to hear it, there’s this underlying feeling of nostalgia and bittersweet emotions that I can’t quite explain.

Maybe I just miss Athena and Gerlyn.
