A blast from the past

"Time changes all things in this world".

The above statement didn't really have much of an impact on me till last Thursday's culture module. Although the module that day was about beauty, one aspect of it still stuck to my mind. That, my dear readers, is the statement which is typed above.

I was surfing through Friendster when i came across my friend's profile. As i scanned through her pictures, flashes of the past flitted through my mind and as soon as i finished with the pictures i began to wonder, where did all the time go? I feel as though it was just yesterday that I had stepped into secondary school unwillingly because I was too shy to make new friends and still felt attached to my primary school. Coming back to the present, I find myself in polytechnic now and coming to Year 2 in just a few months time. I kinda felt shortchanged of my youth because there were just too many opportunities that I had missed in my youth which could have given me more experiences in life which would in turn make mine ever more fulfilling.

Now I wonder if the friends that I made then when I was younger are still the way they used to be or the very least still remember who I am. In a person's life, there are many people who come and goes. I just hope that I would be one of those select few who remains constant in theirs. Relating back to the statement earlier, I realized that there is simply no way anyone couldn't have changed over the years. Even I have changed over the years. Experience in life is what shapes person. From a young boy who was actively involved in sports, I have come to enjoy the aesthetic aspect of life and has moved further away from athletics.

I wonder how my friends are going to be like in 10-15 years time when they're all married and with kids. Are they still going to be like how they are now or just simply different? I don't know that answer but I'm sure I'll find out soon.
