Thirteen years ago yesterday, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on television.
I was nine years old then, just a few months shy of turning a decade. It's hard for me to believe it's been 13 years. I'm almost 23 years old. How did this happen? When did this happen? How has it been 7 years (!!) since Sunnydale became a crater in southern California and the show ended? HOW, PEOPLE, HOW?
I feel so old. I now know how my parents feel (at least a little bit) when they talk about events from their lifetimes. Time goes by so damn fast once you hit your late teens. Once you graduate high school the world seems to go into overdrive and spins faster on its axis. I don't know why it feels like I have no time left. I don't know how time goes by without me noticing, but it does. I need more hours in my day, I need more time. Because at this rate, I'm going to be 30 soon. And I don't like that. That's still 7 years away. Again, commence 2-years-too-early quarterlife crisis.
I guess, I have nothing else to say but this: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't slow down and look around, you might miss it."
