Where is Everybody?

"Staring at the sun, I'm blinded by the light. Now I'm afraid, I'm fading out of sight."-Trent Reznor

I've noticed things have been changing latley. Some for the better, some for the worst.

But the bottom line is things are changing.

I miss the way things used to be.

Everyone is moving on these days. Sometimes it feels like I have no one left.

I used to be able to see my friends on the daily basis, then it turned into months at a time. Now, I'd be lucky to even see any of them in a years time.

I really do miss them.

These days, it seems like I'm the only one who's still here fighting the good fight while everyone is off in their own worlds doing the things they want to do.

Some days, I just don't feel like getting out of bed. The memories of my past rush in and at the same time,

I'm glad everyone is doing well for themselves but also at the same time, I wish I would get the chance to see my old time buddies atleast now and then.

We're all growing up I guess. Growing up and unfortunatley growing apart as it may seem to be these days.

Ever since graduation a few years back, I've tried to hold on but everyone pushes away....or atleast it feels that way.

Nobody has the time anymore.

I'd imagine this is how my Dad must feel at times: Not seeing each other for months at a time. Everytime our paths do cross, the marks of time have taken it's toll on us.

I'm still trying to hold on to the friendships that I have from all my years back but it seems like I'm the only one trying at it anymore.

Everyone has gone their own way.

Everyone is caught in their own lives now. Not worried about anoyone or anything else.

The countless days apart have ripped away the connection. I wonder if things will ever be close to the way they were.

Converging paths that have crossed numerous times before in the past don't seem to cross anymore.

What happened?

Where did everyone go?

Where is everybody?

I trully do wish I knew the answers to those questions....but I don't.

Times have taken their toll, I guess.

Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again in the future....anything is possible, I guess.

It's funny how what used to be certainties are now possibilities.

Everyone's in new realities these days and I've become just a mere memory.

I miss the way things used to be....
