At a time where we do not know who we are, and we are just starting to figure things out, high school days are those filled with memories that you would like to forget and ones you want to keep forever... But... were you really the person you remember. Things have change so much from those days and as you seem to recall the person you were, your adult life has slowly started to catch up... Soon you would have been out of school longer than you were in it... although that chapter of your life was the one that you were changing the most and at a time in your life where there was no identity... imagine someone in there teens really knowing who they are... If they did, I would say they grew up too fast... that's the time not to know and just to be...
The one aspect of being out and away from high school that I still find strange is bumping into the people that you would have seen everyday in the halls.. or the people that you would have called your best friends... These people you haven't seen for ages just reappearing in and out of you life again. Times has changed and people have changed... These years outside of school have allowed people to discover themselves, yet, in some strange way, you still remember them as the person they were in high school.... You think that they are still shy, popular, good looking, dorks, bullies, jocks, nerds, sweethearts or mysteries.... so with the change that has happened years later.... this is all that can come to mind... a faint memory of a person you might have known. So you run to your closet and pull out the old year book to see how well you do remember.... and the ones that you spent day in and day out with.. have now deserved no smile or glance or hello..... and the ones that were just strangers have now spawn curiosity in discovering the new persona outside of this fantasy land...
I guess the world does revolves in stages, chapter or such... and people are remembered at last instances.
Now with these eyes burning in front of me, I can only think of how the world is perceiving me...
"...hey ... didn't you go to...."
