thought # 11- nostalgia

today my primary school best friend, who i have not personally seen in over two years, came over for a girls day in. it really was eventful and splendid, gorging and catching up on life, love and reminding ourselves at how pathetically lame we were in the glory days of primary education. it made me realise how much i truly missed her but im glad feelings of awkwardness are absent even after many years have seperated us. the day was spent chattering about the drunken fiascos and hookups at schoolies, boyfriends and commitment, the past, future and university, then watched bride wars (which only compelled us to get married and plan the perfect wedding... but knowing me that won't be for another eight years minimum haha), experimented on our locks and grimaces with make-up and ate like heffers. it was delightful, despite the tragic, depressing weather.

i guess chances such as these make you realise the value of childhood friends and reminds you of how time passes in this world. it really is insane. but we should really cherish friends such as the ones that knew you from the time picking your nose wasn't offensive, shared in your delight when $2 could allow you to purchase the entire canteen, agreed that year 12 kids were the next thing to parents and God Almighty, cheered you up when the boy you like held hands with another, fought over things like non-existent pokemon and loved you regardless of your crappy haircut and lovehandles.

really, i do encourage you to catch up with them. give them a call, send them a comment on facebook, write them a letter. i think i shall aim to meet up with all my beloved old friends before we continue to say "ill do it tomorrow" and find ourselves living in twenty years later.

love

p.s. edwina kwong and i. we still think we're cool haha.
