My life story is a simple one. Not to much struggle, not to many challenges to overcome but like everyone it has those moments that take you back and make you think... Huh, so that's what sucks about growing up.
In Elementry school for as long as I can remember I had this friend... Let us call her Julia. Julia and I were very good friends, we sat together on the bus every day, talked about Hannah Montana and High School Musicals as did most 5th graders in 2006.
Once we got to eh... sixth grade there was a large seperation. Before then I Was a semi popular kid even though I wasn't the leanest person in the class or the smartest or the fastest. It was when friend ship was based on an appreciation of who that person was not who they hung out with.
Julia and I never had a last stand where we fought and like a cliche said, "Well I guess we aren't friends anymore" It was gradual. We didn't have any classes together for three years.
This year it turns out I have English with Julia and we don't talk at all. Not even a how was your summer.
She posted this song on YouTube that she had written and wrote. At first I have to be honest I was like. What a stupid teenager thing to do recording yourself singing. But I watched it and I was like Holy Shit. This is a good song. My Nerdfighter band should cover this!
But then I thought. I haven't had a conversation with Julia in 5 years! How is she going to react when I say. "I want to make a cover of your song you posted on Facebook the other day."
But I posted it on her video not saying that it was me but saying that I wanted to do this because it was a good song and easy for my group to cover.
If you want to see the video here it is;

You can post something like Becky sent me if you really want...
Well I guess the whole thing makes me sad because it doesn't make me sad... I don't miss my friendship with her but it isn't like I would decline a friendship. We are just to ships departing in two different directions, to two different meaning of a happy life as terribly poetic that sound. It's true.
I'll be sure to let you guys know what happens with it but DFTBA
And
Awkwardly
Best Wishes...
bro, who posted this?
ReplyDeleteI believe Becky did but I'm not sure...
ReplyDeleteAnyway: I know the feeling very well. I am always painfully aware of people around me who I used to be friends with.
Some people I miss, some people I don't. The people I don't miss are mostly people with who I just grew apart. We just don't know each other anymore and that's okay. Sometimes I feel bad about feeling that way but sometimes I see what they have become and than I'm glad I'm not befriended with them.
