I just can't stop the nostalgia...I miss the life I used to have. I knew it would be hard to move on after university but this transition has been seriously brutal. It didn't feel this way leaving high school...I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and didn't understand the people who were all sentimental.
This neighbour of ours told me on Labour Day 2002 as we were packing the van that university was going to be the single best experience in my life.........I never really took it in...but if it's the best thing...then what comes after? I know other things happen...like marriage and kids and stuff. But that is not the same.
It's not just the "university" part...that's just what I happened to be doing between the years of 18 and 22...maybe it's just the time of my life that I miss...the being young, naive, stupid, and reckless part. And it's not like I could go back, because that isn't who I am anymore...and how can I miss something, but not want it back? It has ended, and that is the way it's supposed to be.
Things will just never be the same, and it's hard to accept that.
