Found two of my old phones today and decided to try to get them working. I wanted to see what, after all these years I'd left on them. After finding some USB cables and attaching it to my computer I was in business. I was also in for a hit to the chest. Texts. A wall of them from years ago. Texts from when i was in school and friends and I would make dinner plans and try and find time to hang out. It seems forever ago now with most either moved, married or already having kids. It feels like lifetimes ago. Then there's all the other texts from a person we'll refer to as "Lois". Seeing all those texts just took me back. The heck happened to us? The people we were then and the people we are now...I guess life does things to you. You grow, you move forward in ways and you change. Seeing what you and i were back then. Its funny to think we were those people and the billion texts we sent each other compared to now where we don't even talk anymore. The heck happened.
The nostalgia punched me in the face today. Has it really been so long already? Sometimes I feel time stopped in 2007 when I graduated high school. Like everything was left behind then and a part of me was left behind as well. Most times when I try and figure out how long something has been I count it off from 07 when I graduated. And here i am today. I need to take a long look at myself. And where I wanna go and what i wanna do.
