it’s sad to look back and think about all the friends you had and the memories you made together because there will be a point in your life when you can’t remember all of them or you can’t recall your childhood best friend’s name. that’s the time i regret to live. you think your life is so great and you have no care in the world until you realize your friends you had in elementary and middle, you may never see again. i remember talking with my friends in elementary about how we are going to hangout everyday in high school but i don’t even talk to them anymore. on the last day of middle school so many of us cried because we all never knew how strong our love was for each other. it’s amazing how powerful someone’s feelings are towards their friends when they come to the realization that they won’t be friends forever even though that’s what the necklaces said. i found this anonymous that states, “At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time and nobody knew it.” and as i read this my eyes started to water. i had an amazing friend my kindergarten year, we were inseparable. but then she got moved up a grade and we never talked since. we even went to the same middle school and high school yet we haven’t ever exchanged words. it’s heartbreaking to see all the friendships that you created be turned to dust just because of a different school or new friend group. i have had three friends move and it gets harder and harder to see them especially when they get so close to you. even if they are just moving an hour away. some days i wish i could go back to to feel the happiness i felt when i didn’t know these were going to be memories i’d look back but the fun times we were having then. all it takes is one thought to flood the memories back. every time i think of my past i think of things i did and i there was a way i could go back and feel the innocence, love and happiness without a care in the world. when we were young we all wished we could be a grown up like our parents yet they were wishing they could go back to their childhood. it’s scary to think that one day you won’t be able to remember your childhood or the friends and memories you made to get there you are now. i’m scared to forget the moments where i experienced the most happiness i will probably every have. childhood memories are so mesmerizing that everyone wants to relive that memories and by remembering that old days for a second we can forget about the stressful and anxiety-cursed life. memories can either warm you up in the inside or tear you apart. sometimes i think to me self, why can’t i be young again and be back to when i didn’t care what people thought of me or what i looked like. i want to go back to all the memories i had when i was having fun. take me back.
