I know the list says "Fanfic" ... but I haven't read any ... so I'm gonna write about whatever I like !
What is it about some memories that literally make us 'ache' for those days ? It could be something as simple as the smell of mom's cooking.
I get into these walks down memory lane very often ... and its tough for me to stop 'walking'. Its tough to let go ... to 'grow up'. Often, once I'm in the mood, I'll listen to music from those days and just imagine I'm in a time machine ... back to the 'good 'ol days'. Why are they called so? Why is it always that the 'old' days are always good? There is something comforting about them ... something familiar ... I know that I, for one, do not like change and resist it as much as I can.
I've been looking at photographs from my school days. It was all brought on by a reunion planned in school this weekend and some "Backstreet Boys" tunes. I miss the idle chatter, the 'puppy love', the picnics, the exams, the tuitions, the phone calls, the boy bands, the french fries and cola ! *sigh* .... We didn't care about how we looked or how we dressed,we just wanted to have fun.
How I wish to be a teenager again! Not a worry in the world - nothing to fear! I really miss being like that ... fearless ... I mean I could do anything I wanted ... what's the worst that could happen? As an adult (hardly one) ... I'm always calculative of my actions ... always responsible for them ... there's not much room left for spontaneity.
I know ... its not like I'm dead ... I can still be fearless ... jump off a cliff or go sky diving ... but that will also be planned ... as part of some vacation ...
Hmmm ... maybe I need to plan to be more spontaneous ... :-)

Oh man, I had posted something eerily similar on my blog a while back too! About growing up and nostalgia! We think so alike :)
