I miss...

I'm just sitting here going through all of my old notes and pictures and stuff from gradeschool. I miss those days sooo much. I miss the times when I knew every kid in my school and was friends with everyone because there wasn't any drama. I miss the innocence and the times where a kiss from a boy was a big deal. I miss the times when I'd get butterflies in my stomach just from talking to the boy I liked. I miss my first love. I miss the nights spent playing "kick the can" and "ghost in the graveyard." I miss the forts my friends and I would build in our basements in the summer. I miss climbing trees. I miss being perfectly content with spending everynight just hanging out and playing and talking with friends. I miss the days when nobody had to get drunk to have fun. I miss the guys that I used to hang out with who could make me laugh nonstop for hours. I miss the girls that I used to have slumber parties with, watch movies with, eat tons of junkfood with, and talk about boys all night long with. I miss my old teachers. I miss playing "7-up" and "around the world." I miss getting ready for dances for hours, thinking I looked good (even though I now wonder why the hell I thought pleather snakeskin pants were "hot" when really they were just literally hot), and having the time of my life just dancing with my friends and taking pictures all night long. I miss the days when I didn't have a care in the world. I miss the days when I didn't have to worry about anything besides where a "bug house" was so that I could catch fireflies at night. I miss living day-to-day and not thinking so much about the future. I miss really living life.
