Wow, its so strange when you look back on your life and realize that all of the excitement is over... think about it...
My younger years have been spent constantly doing things... by the age of 21 I had experienced a lot... here goes:
Summer Camp: Ramah (2 years) and Canadensis (4 years)
Family Trips: London, Amsterdam, Israel
Road Trips: Cross Country with Musiker Tours
High School/College: Poland, Prague, Israel (twice), Northern England
Other: Florida ever year (Disney 4 times), Seattle (JCC)
That is a lot to experience... and now I am doing nothing. There is no summer camp, no traveling, and i cant even follow a band to see the country...
I just remember the days when I used to be packing for camp and my wardrobe was dependent on specific colors... who had the most gold, blue, red and white, to accomodate for all of the activities that would happen throughout the summer... You never went to camp without atleast 5 pairs of blue shorts, 4 pairs of gold, tons of shirts in those colors and then there was the red/white/blue holidays... making sure you had a bandana in each of the above colors, face paint, etc. Everything was dependent on activities.
I went through my wardrobe... again last week and I cant even begin to tell you how many pioeces of clothing I had that were a direct reference to the places and things I have been and seen... and I had to throw a lot of it out. when in gods name would I ever wear a gold shirt again? Or a shirt that was decorated like an american flag?
It makes me sad to think that the most exciting years of my life are gone... no more.
Its kind of sad... Im kind of sad...
does anyone really understand me?
