Okay, so this is gonna sound kinda weird, but whatever. It's bothering me.
I know some of you might have looked back on your childhood and thought: "Damn, what happened?" I've been doing that a lot lately. I know things were screwed up when I was little, but even still. I miss it. My dad used to have a farm, irrigation sprinklers and everything. We'd run around in them. He'd alternate between growing vegetables and flowers every year. We had a greenhouse, chickens, pigs, a goat, a raspberry bush... in short, it was a little kid's dream come true sorta deal.
I think what's bothering me the most now, though, is the friendships that fade with age. I had a dream about an old friend last night -- a weird dream -- but nevertheless, it made me sad. We used to be best friends from like... first grade until 6th grade. So many memories. Middle/High School ruined everything, especially when I moved 1000+ miles away in 9th grade. When I first went home to visit (it was like the summer after I moved), I went to go visit him at his job (his family owns an inn/restaurant/dock/pool/thing... it's pretty awesome) and when I walked in, I did not recognize him. No joke. It was so awkward. So I just said hello and then left. I haven't seen him since. What really bothered me though was that he didn't seem at all happy to see me. I dunno. "Happy" isn't really what I was looking for; if he could've looked a tad bit attentive, that might've helped a little.
Anywho, I thought about bothering him on facebook just to see if he'd even bother responding, but I'm not sure how to approach it. It sounds stupid, I know. But I'm just like that. :/ I was thinking something along the lines of:
"Hey, remember when we used to be friends? Seems like ancient history, don't it?
I know you've probably been asked this a zillion times, but how's college?"
I wasn't too sure, so I didn't post it lol. But yeah. IT SUCKS. D:
