recently i went to a reunion with old college friends. i saw many individuals i hadnt encountered in more years than i would care to admit. it was an enjoyable event. it wasnt even too bad when one of my old friends opened a photo album of her kids.
some people didnt seem to age much, others i barely recognized. if one guy hadnt brought old photos i wouldnt have had a clue who he was. i consider myself to have a good memory, but even i did not recognize or remember everyone.
it was nice seeing old friends, but as i uploaded old photos, i also felt sad, for time has past. i have grown so far from some of my old friends. and its not just because they may have gotten married or have kids. college seemed so far away. i wished i could go back and relive the good parts of that time in my life. and perhaps change a few things. i know, i know. you just cant go back. only forward.
i did exchange numbers and friended others on facebook, but im afraid some of the past cant be transplanted to the present. sometimes everyone says they will stay in touch, and they dont always. it was fun all the same. i realize how important it is to savor the present because one day the present will be the past.
