nostalgia

Is there anything to cure nostalgia? I can't stop thinking about the old days.. my old friends and all the memories and times we used to spend together. JJ thinks it's an easy solution - just hang out with them.

But somehow it's not that easy.. in 8th grade, we all went to the same school, saw the same 25 people (yep, grad class of 25), and knew each others' ins and outs.. but then high school came along and separated all of us... some to private schools, others to various public schools. Everyone found their new comfort zones and made new "life long" friends..

Those 4 years are unforgettable to me. I remember so many people, so many memories.. and then at the end, again, we were all separated. To add to that physical separation, there was, of course, drama. I lost a lot of my closest friends because of that.. and even though we are all past that stage of holding grudges, it's still difficult. It's been years since we've all been together and it just isn't the same anymore. What would we talk about? What would we do? Do we still have anything in common?

Last night I had a dream about it actually... It was my debutante ball again, and this time, I had all my friends there, both high school & grade school. Yes there were some new friends as well (JJ was my escort :yay: haha), and it seemed as if everyone got along really well.

I woke up and felt pretty sad.. where have all these years gone? Where did all my friends go? When did I suddenly turn into an adult, doing errands and worrying about money, instead of focusing on having fun?
