Life, oh life, oh life.
I never understood that Desiree song. Something about fearing ghosts and eating toast (nothing quite like popsong profoundity).But anyhow, what was I gonna say...
I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, we are old. Grad apps. Weddings. Babies. Loans. Credit cards. Travelling overseas. Living overseas. This ambivalent state between being old and doing grown up things (get married, job), and denial of our age by living a cashed-up second adolescence (living overseas in a pubcrawling haze, spending away our newly acquired incomes from aforementioned grad jobs). My gosh we're neck deep in this twentysomething cliche.
And you know what the scariest thing is? I can't remember what we used to talk about before, back in high school, sitting in the corridor leaning on the lockers. But somehow I think it was more interesting than what we talk about now. Maybe interesting is the wrong word. Definitely less predictable.
Youth is brief and time is winging. Indeed. Meanwhile, I'm going to stop chanting "yuck we're old". The more I do that, the older I'll feel.

Ditto ditto ditto.
Ditto that we're getting old - ditto that we're suddenly old.
Ditto that we used to talk about more interesting things than we do now.
You might like to add another one - we used to be less complicated people.
Ditto ditto ditto.
