just a thursday reflection on a wednesday night

yup, northfield. hey. town that i grew up in, lived in the same house until i departed for college, hung out with the same kids since diapers, saw the same faces for eighteen years. slightly steady lifestyle. but then i had a break from the ray of sunshine i call northfield and kicked it up a notch in new york city. people there--unforgettable. obviously. shout out to the fork, yo. my girls, love them love them love them. miss them, school, the city A LOT. anyway, you can imagine the plentiful differences between college and childhood, as with anybody. im totally straying away from what i wanted to talk about but dont really want to backspace, IM HUNGOVER. because of the fun i had last night--ok, we're back! (to the subject, and actually that's a theme for this post, being back) I am back. was back in northfield last night, saw the faces i grew up with, and had a blast. we have all grown up so much but stayed the same. it's funny how comfortableness doesn't falter with true childhood friends, no matter how much time has passed. i shouldn't say childhood and lead you on like its been years, we were hanging out through high school. but seriously, what am i talking about. i think it's just that last night made me appreciate three things (like really): 1) age, aging, the significance and the irrelevance 2) friends--we had fun as kids, have fun as semi-adults, and i have faith in the future 3) northfield, the vortex that can catch you off guard, for the better and for the worse. last night surprised me in the best way. THANK YOU LIFE.
