Charleston, SC
I just finished The Big Chill. Surprisingly, I had not seen it before. If you haven’t seen it, see it. It sent me high and low. I hope all of us have been lucky enough to have a group of friends like that.
My over analyzing mind says: It’s weird how the relationships you made growing up differ from the ones you make now, when you’re older and supposedly wiser. I don’t know why it is that way, because I have some great friends I’ve met in my later years. But, there is something about the innocence of youth that allows you to give more into the friendships. I’m not sure if we’re scared now, or not as trusting. Maybe it’s because our focus is on so many other things. I am not saying the friends and bonds you make when you’re older are not as strong as the ones you make when you are younger, but it is still different.
I miss my friends. My friends from my youth. My friends from high school. My friends who have passed. My friends from college. My friends from now.
I’m not sad writing this. I write it with a smile and a lot of memories and a lot of great friends.
I guess the point is that it stinks how you grow up and lose the ability to get so caught up in each other.
That’s all I have to say about that.
