i'm just sitting out here watching airplanes take off and fly. wondering which one you might be on....
Growing up sucks. Not all kisses are magical and most boys don't live up to your expectations. But there are those times when everything- love, romance, realationships, it all falls into place together perfectly and its incredible. Its those moments no matter how few and far inbetween that make it worth it, and help to prove that it really all will be okay.
i was writing down a quote and a paper that had this on it fell out of my book .... concidence? who knows. regardless it seemed fitting. i have to admit initially i agreed who heartedly- but then it made me pause and think about what it really says. setting aside my somewhat cynical nature, i have to admit that growing up doesnt always suck. the other day i was impressed (for lack of a better word) when i saw some old friends. its wierd to think that no matter what we do and how much we think we have changed at college, hanging out with the people who really used to know who we were and how we got there still have an uncanny ability to know who we are better than we know ourselves. i think perhaps the most shocking was coming back to someone from our past and feeling completely at ease. no awkward conversation. no wierd pauses in the conversation. no nervous laughter. just simple, uncomplicated, and comfortable. although logically there is no way to make up for four missed years of the simple, uncomplicated, and comfortable conversation and even silence, perhaps it is time to focus on making sure another four years dont accidentally slip by. its funny really. wondering why the ones you made the effort for fell apart, and the one you let go didnt. however, i dont suppose its worth stressing over. just wierd. perhaps there is a lesson lurking somewhere, but for now im okay with not knowing.

You're right. I have yet to encounter that friendship where I can just go back as if nothing has happened - partially because of the state my life is in now. But I wish I could reconnect with some of the people I lost contact with.
And you're right - growing up doesnt always suck. Sometimes it is the growing up that gives us the most joy in life.
