Chosen Paths

So, do you ever catch a glance of someone from your past, and start thinking? I saw a few of those people in Magic Mart, tonight.

I saw Jeff, my best friend in high school. He was with his wife, and their son. That kind of thing used to be depressing to me. "Look at that! He's happy! Why can't I be happy?!" Or, "Everyone I went to school with is married, and have families now. What about me?!" Yeah... That's not me anymore... Good seeing Jeff, man! We go way back... Golly, 17 years! I've known him since before I had long hair! We met in 7th grade. I started growing my hair in the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Not many people have seen me with short hair, but Jeff has! Heh. I'm really proud of Jeff, and all he's done. I wish we wouldn't have parted ways. He'd be a good person to be in me life right now. I guess that's life, though. "Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away." People come and go. Every once in a while, some will stay. Jeff, if you're reading this, by any chance, let's be friends again! I miss you, Brother. We had some great times together! I never had many friends. Still don't. Jeff was one of the few, the proud.

Secondly, I saw an old crush of mine. The girl from 2000 (cm). The one who got away. I was so crazy about her! I wish I wouldn't have been too shy to have asked her out. We could've had some good times together. She was with her boyfriend, tonight. She smiled, and waved at me, as if to say, "This could've been YOU with me, Junebug!" Oh well...

And last, I saw Todd. He used to work at Kmart with me. He was one of the first people to take me under his wing, and teach me the ropes there. So, he was in Kmart's old building, which is now Magic Mart. Full Circle.

Three sightings. The paths that led me to where I am today. There seems to be a lot of crossroads on the path I'm currently on. I never know from one day to the next where I'm going to end up.
