tonight was faced with much nostalgia. after a long day of summer school and a victorious spanish win over germany, i headed home tonight to relax, but instead found myself wanting to catch up with old friends. it’s always with mixed emotions i call friends because it’s bittersweet…. i am thrilled to reconnect and get updates, but on the other hand, it leaves me a bit dampened because i realize how much i miss them as well as those moments in life we shared. but it always ends up being a very therapeutic thing to catch up, because at the end i always feel good about being here and despite the void of not having them around, it reminds me they are still very much there. it is a sort of renewing energy which is transpired; for both them and myself. no matter what we will always have those ties and bonds and it is as if no time has passed… merely a week or so. we flutter in and out of each others lives. it’s a truly unique and beautiful connection which i am most grateful to experience.

it reminds me life is still passing along. it needs to be lived, enjoyed and shared.
