Lost in Time
Boi, getting old kinda sucks. You think back and look at the histories you had — the people you knew, and how some of those friendships ended while some are still going. You see that a lot of them are in the past because of time, distance, or other reasons. Then you look at the new ones you developed. Kinda makes you sad to see how so many of them have ended.
It’s kinda like after I read The Lord of the Rings. You think back over the characters that you’ve known and the ones that have been left behind or killed off. Especially when Frodo has to leave Sam to go to the Grey Havens. I feel like Sam sometimes. Like I’m left in the past.
Same thing goes with Friends — seeing all of their past relationships that did not work out and the people that were left behind. Maybe all of this was triggered b/c of the episode where Emily leaves an answering machine message telling Ross she’s having second thoughts about the wedding that’s gonna happen the next day. I think if he wasn’t stupid and said “Rachel” things would’ve worked out.
We’ll leave it at that.
