Memory Lane

Uh oh, Here comes sentimental Nicole again...
I was cleaning out my room tonight and found an old box full of old pictures. The majority of them were from about 2-3 years ago. Back when I also used to hangout with a bunch of different people.
It's crazy how fast time goes. When those people and memories used to cross my mind it felt like SO long ago. But looking through the pictures it felt like it was yesterday. I hardly talk to any of those people anymore. Some of them have moved away and some did the same as me. Fade out.
A lot of the pictures made me smile so big and even laugh out loud. I do miss those days from time to time. I love my life right now.
But getting to have these memories in the back of my mind are just fabulous. I have some awesome stories to tell for forever! And stories to make me smile. I am so happy I was given the chance with those people to do the things I did. We were all so young and free! We didn't care if we worked at 7 am the next morning. Most nights during the summer we had bonfires on the beach (after jumping the huge fences behind the giant houses out at White Rock of course) haha. Or getting pissed drunk and getting lost downtown. Scary and exciting all at the same time. Going mudding down at allouette, pulling all nighters and having burger king for breakfast (ew), waxing Colten's chest hair (yes, we did that), drunk bowling, driving all the way to Alberta just to see a friend for one night, having your bday party on a monday night and having all 28 of your friends show up, all the crazy wild houseboating (I will not post what happened during those trips on here, only close friends know about that haha),...I could keep going all night.
Now, I'm not saying that I don't have beyond fantastic memories with my other best friends. Because I do! So many of them. I don't know what I would do without these wonderful people that are in my life right now. I love them dearly, they are family to me. I am a lucky girl to have the friends in my life that I do today. It's just that reminiscing on these memories are very dear to me because during this time was when I broke away from the horrible person I was slowly becoming. These were the years when I realized who I want and don't want to be. And these people just happened to be a big part of that. I'll never forget them. Things may have changed, but the memories remain the same.


"It was my life and it was fun
Another season of my life is done
Another race I'm glad I got to run
Another chapter of my life its over
No I'm never gonna feel like that again
Times rushin by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then
No I'm never gonna feel like that again."
