Don't forget to remember

It's been some time since I've graduated from high school, and within these past few months.. I've bumped into some of my fellow classmates. I gotta say, I actually do miss them. Going from seeing them at the turn of a hallway, or lunch hour, to not at all, was quite a change. Something I noticed? There's also a change in their attitudes as well. A lot of the guys have somewhat grew up, and most definitely matured. (Which is nice to see) People are also definitely moving on with their lives, which is good to know. It makes me happy to know that some of my closest and dearest friends are getting along well with the next chapter of their lives. I guess you could say high school was our bubble. For some, our safe haven, and for others, a second home. Now that we're out of that bubble, things change, people change. We're all moving along. Onto bigger, better things. (I hope) When people ask me if I miss high school, I tell them no. I'm glad it was a fairly smooth transition to where I am right now, and I'm also grateful to the teachers who've taught me more than I can imagine. But I really don't miss it. I'm happy that I get to move on to another chapter of my life. When I look back at how different I was over the years, I have a sigh of relief that I’m a lot more comfortable with myself now. I also would acknowledge how easily I could have been swayed to fall down the wrong path back then. Needless to say, those were just some challenges that I had to go through to bring me where I am today, and I couldn't be more content.

P.S I miss you. A lot.
