People grow up, grow old. Seems like time passes all too fast now, as all the friends I used to have are slowly growing up, growing old, growing apart from me... all I have left are the closest of friends, and some acquantainces... the rest of them just seemed to drift away... either through time or distance, or maybe even a change in state of mind, lots of people forget about me... ah well. My granddaughters have all grown up I suppose, with only 1 or 2 left remembering what I am to them.

I suppose this is what people said last time: Cherish your friends, keep them close, try not to lose touch of them. Sadly, I've feared that reality is far from that, and it is true. Our lives are just so full of things to do like work, play, relationships, that we lose touch of how life used to be so simple. It used to be a game of tag, or just sipping drinks en masse in the heat. It's all gone now. (of course we still yam cha, but that's fast fading too)

I never did say I wanted to grow up so fast... being young was great, when you could see everyone you knew in one place, for a very long time. It kinda gets to you that these faces are now fading slowly from memory with each passing day. =\...

We always say we'd keep in touch once we've 'made it in life', but when will that ever happen? We'll just be looking for more to have a better life, to improve ourselves. I don't want that to happen. I'll reach a certain point, and stay there, content with life. Do you all know what you want in life? I'd just like a nice, cozy apartment, maybe a semi-d...
