This sure did hit home for me. It feels like yesterday when I was sitting in my high school classroom as a skinny pale sophomore excited for the ride home with this "Jay Moriarity" character seen above. Feels like yesterday when I spent my first day at college. And it feels like yesterday that I attended my childhood friend's high school graduation party. Okay that's because it was yesterday that that happened. My point is that nobody will ever tell you to stop and take a look around because the experiences and days are gonna fly by and soon turn into that moment when you go "holy crap that was a year ago."
I don't know about you guys but I'm starting to feel like really old, and my buddies and I have discussed this. I just spent the past two days and nights with my best friend since second grade and nothing scares me more than how old he looks now. I can remember him as a frail skinny kid with short hair, and I'm sure he remembers me the same. You never really realize how old you are until your next birthday means your 20 years old. 20 years old?!?! When I was 10 years old a 20 year old felt like the oldest person in the world to me. AND NOW IM THAT PERSON.
So Here's to never growing up. And staying forever young. To all my old friends and new friends, the people I care about and the people who I've lost in the shuffle of growing up, remember that you never know a good thing till it's gone, and nobody will ever tell you your in the good ole days until you leave them.
