Times have Changed

Today, I just felt like reading over some old cards given to my friends and reading them and remember back to the past brought tears into my eyes. How times have changed? How we each have grown? When I read these cards I can see how much my friends have all grown since the first time I meet them. I see how much I have grown since they meet me.

In some way, it is sort of depressing cause I found out how our friendship has evolved and changed over time. Reading over it and thinking about the past and the present I feel like things a different. I feel at times I am not as close with someone. There is just so much that has happened over my high school years and so much changes. Some things you don't even notice.

I feel both happy and sad that I developed closer relationship with some and less with others. Some friends are sort of in the middle, cause I feel close with them but not as much as I did. I don't know if that really made since.

It is just fascinating, how everyone's personality has changed a little bit and how matured we have become. I want to return back to the younger years where I was so carefree and spent time with my friends gain a deeper friendship. Now things are more complex. But then again I don't want to go back cause I have things now that I didn't before. One of them is Ling. He brought me so much happiness over the times we have been together though at the same time he has brought a few sadness and worries into my life as well.

There is so much that has happened over the years. Though there is one thing that will never change.

That is I LOVE MY FRIENDS. I have so this before and I will say it again: Friends are the family we choose ourselves and I am so glad I choose the friends I have cause they are truly like family. Everyone needs to hold on to what they said in the cards. We have to be friends until we are old and ugly (though my friends will never grow ugly no matter how old they are ^.^)
