Older Now

I moved away

I moved far far away

2,525 miles away to be exact.

It was my choice, though.

I wanted to go to school on the other coast.

It was always so glamourized

The glitz

The glam

The fame

The fortune

It was all so exciting to me at the time

I thought I could conquer the world.

Then fall passed

With all its excitement

Of new air

New faces

Picturesque places

And winter hit.

I was cold.

My first holidays not in the hometown.

Paying bills got harder.

Juggling two jobs,

Classes,

Trying to make new friends

Losing touch with old ones.

I'd stay up late at night

Pictures that seemed like yesterday turning nearly two years old

I'd think to myself

"We were just kids then,

we're so much older now"
