Things change
Its weird.
Today i was pondering about life and this thought came about me. Scary i know, but have you ever thought about how your life was 5, 10 ears ago. Not necessarily how your life was but what it was like and who you were friends with.
I can remember back in the day good old Ardmore. I swear elementary school was so much fun. I can remember my circle of friends- Emily Oshnock, Katie Mason, Jaclyn Sroka, Tori Lawler, Paige Johns, Andrew Zito, Brian Mattera, Austin Nelson, Jeff Linquest, Mikey Corbett, and John Eiswerth. Now I distinctively remember fifth grade. I think that was the year where we actually hung out, outside of school. And I remeber having a blast. We had great memories- Lindsay Piscapo letting her pit bulls go on me, Paige, Brian, and John. John getting in trouble for scratching me in basketball and then him getting me in trouble for calling him EARSwerth ;) , John explaining what a condom is, Emily's birthday when Brian fell off the deck or something.
Then sixth grade came, and we were all split up and thrown into a school with 3 other elemtentary schools together. We all met new people, but still talked. I can't pin-point a time when i remember not talking but it seems like it happened over night. We gradually grew apart. But the weird part is i NEVER ever thought we would stop being friends. These are the girls that i have been playing with since kindergarten. These are the boys that we all started liking. These are the kids we played spin the bottle at Paige's 5th grade party, and boy did we think we were rebels.
Maybe I'm crazy, but i seriously thought these were going to be my friends for the rest of my life. Never in a million years did I think we were going to stop talking in high school, or even middle school for that matter. I can remember Paige and Tori saying we weren't going to meet new people at Jefferson and it was just going to be us.
The saddest part is I am not close to ONE of them. I think everyone changed and we are all so different now we just seperated. But it's interesting how everything I thought was for sure, changed. I mean Katie, Emily, and I remained best friends until ninth grade. Jaclyn I don't even remember I think it was the same. Paige dropped out of school in like seventh grade? And Tori I think we just drifted. Mikey went to Ligget, Austin went to De La Salle but they still live across the street. Jeff left us in seventh grade when he went to U of D. Andrew, John, and Brian are still around. Brian and Tori are together which is still shocking to me, only because who would have guessed? And i have to say I talk to John the most :). Actually he is the ONLY one i hang out with outside of school, which isn't that often.
I just find it very interesting how everything plays out. Maybe you're thinking I'm only in high school, your not 50, but that's my point. It hasn't been that long and look at how things change so much. What's it going to be like after high school. We are spending so much time with these people who we grow so close with. Then after 4 years of being together almost everyday, we are all moving away or on. What's gonna happen then?
