its weird to think that some day i will be old.
some day people will be amazed that i was alive when the berlin wall fell. they will snicker to themselves, that i remember the 90s and still listen to the music. they won't know what is is or what hanging chads are. they will ask where i was when the two towers fell; biology class. i will tell them that when i started driving, gas was a dollar sixteen a gallon. hopefully they will be amazed that i even remember gas guzzling cars. they may've heard stories about reinquist or katrina or john paul II, then again those stories may've faded as time whizzed by.
some day i will be old and people will see me like i saw my grandfather when he talked about the beaches of normandy. they will be amazed at all that has happened since i was born so many years ago. it will be weird, but i think i might like it.
*feel free to post your thoughts on this if it strikes you. this is something i contemplate every so often and certainly when something monumental happens. sorry about the substandard writing, this was a pseudo-stream of rachelthought and as such i like to alter it as little as possible.
goodnight all,
Rachel
