We have seen what lies beneath the earth.

It should not be the middle of September yet. Where did summer go? How can I be that close to my trip and have nothing done? That part should upset me, but all of my best decisions in life have been spur of the moment. I do the things that matter last minute.

Days have been going by and I haven't even realized it.

I took a trip down memory lane a few weeks ago. It is amazing how you can survive without things that once comprised almost your entire world. It is amazing how many people come and go, most never to be heard from again. What is even more amazing is the bittersweet ache for days long gone. I wouldn't go back to them, but I am glad they happened. I am glad I have days that I miss. I am also glad I still have people from those days to reminisce with me.

I'm in such a weird state of mind lately.

Right? Summer isn't allowed to be gone yet. We didn't even hit 80 degrees today! Sighs, that pretty much spells the end of swimming season.

I miss some of my friends bitterly, and wish we would talk again.

I'm sitting in a sweater right now. It's not sweater time yet! I am ready for all the awesome pumpkin flavored stuff though.

There are a few I wish I still talked to. Somehow, most of the ones I really miss end up reappearing in my life some way or another, at least once in a while.

Pumpkin drinks at the coffee shop! Yep! Soon! Almost makes up for not being able to swim anymore!

And yes, many of my friends have reappeared, mostly on facebook. I suppose if I really think about it there are only a few that I never have contact with anymore. Still, people I used to talk to daily and now I talk to monthly, I miss.

I will miss swimming so much. D:

I think that's why I both hate and love Facebook. Without it, I wouldn't have certain people in my life at all. With it, I can catch glimpses of their lives and talk from time to time. It isn't the same as having them there all the time, but it is better than not having any contact at all I suppose.

I think it's better than not having it - even though I get annoyed with their lack-of-privacy settings sometimes.

Time surely does fly, doesn't it?

It does! It is so funny how fast it seems now. When I was younger, time didn't seem to go fast enough.

I know, right? Summer went by really quickly! That being said, I'm looking forward to wearing comfy sweaters again :3

I wouldn't go back to them, but I am glad they happened. I am glad I have days that I miss. I am also glad I still have people from those days to reminisce with me. - I find this very relatable :) While I do miss some, if not most, of the days gone by, I am glad that they happened. They were, and still are, a large part of who I am today. I'm glad that you found this realization. ♥

Comfy sweaters are the best. :D

It does feel like that. There were only a few days over 90 degrees this year, and while I like the cooler weather, it hardly feels like summer should be over.

It is such a weird ache. Like, I want those days back in a way but I also don't. I'm happy to have lived them and happy to reminisce about them, but I also know I'll reminisce about these days. Such is life, I suppose.
