The Good Old Days

Sometimes I wish things were the way they used to be.

"The good old days"

When I'd spend countless hours with my friends doing crazy stuff without a care in the world.

Sometimes I wish time would go faster. When I was pumping gas everyday I wished it was now... living in the city, going to school. Now I wish it was summer. Partly because it's cold out now but mainly because I love summer.

When I was a kid I don't ever think I wished I was grown up. I've stayed the same. The world has just gotten smaller and stupider (kids are dumb and I was no exception).

I try to write songs. I once wrote a song with the line "These are the good old days". It was about just being content with where you are and not missing opportunities.

It might just be me but I think many people want to get a certain phase of life over with and think the next one will be better.

In high school I guess I wished I was graduated. Working, I wished I was in college. Now I wish it was summer (but I am enjoying college) but I'm scared to graduate college because then I'll have to look for a job.

Currently I'm in school until 5pm Monday to Friday. And after that I don't feel like doing anything... The other day I went to bed at 8:30.

I was fortunate to spend lots of time with friends over Christmas break. But times like these I think are necessary. I'm not sure what I mean by that but we can't be having all fun all the time.

I try not to wish it was my grade 11 and 12 years when I hung with my bros a lot and I try not to wish this time would fly by.

To sound rather corny: Everyday is a gift. Everyday has potential. Even a day were I'm in school 8-5 and get home and feel like doing nothing can be "a good old day" if I make it one.

I could be emo and sit in my room with my guitar or I could be content with the huge number of blessings that I realize I have when I take a minute to just slow down.
