So this past weekend was Prom at my old high school. My two best friends who are still in high school posted pictures and they both looked absolutely stunning! As I reminisced about my own Prom experiences with my friends here at school I was overwhelmed with a feeling of nostalgia and almost a sense of sadness that I would never get to experience that same feeling only prom and high school events can provide an individual. I have always been the first to say I am so happy I'm not stuck in high school anymore but it's instances like this where I truly do miss that level of comfort in having events like Prom, soccer games, plays etc. offers. I was talking to Lauren earlier on the phone and we both agreed that we missed it...or we thought we did. What we ended up concluding was that we are jealous people. The way I described it to her was this: No longer is it OUR graduation year, no longer was it OUR last Prom, no longer was it MY last soccer game...the school no longer belongs to us and we have truly separated ourselves from the institution where we grew up and created so many memories. So maybe it's not jealousy, maybe it's just growing up. For a while I was questioning whether or not I am a jealous person because I have always claimed not to be, or at least I have denied it. At times, I do recognize I am jealous but I quickly suppress those emotions because I do not see them as worthwhile emotions to have. I will build a bridge and get over whatever these feelings are that I am currently having however, for now, I will admit it...I miss high school and everything that came along with it. Yes, each and everything that came along with it--the good, the bad, and even the ugly.
