Today the prompt is either something or someone I miss.
I am not 100% sure why I miss what I miss, other than I remember a happier life for most of my time that I can think of this sometime.
The something is actually a place, a place I am not even sure I would like any more. But a place that I was last in 21 years ago. My hometown of Bakersfield, California. I was last in California in 2001, but I went to Long Beach, and didn’t even think to attempt a detour in Bakersfield. I’m not why why I didn’t, I’m sure I could have spared a day to check out where I was from. Look at my old house, my old schools, maybe find old friends.
From Wikipedia, originally from a site it is no longer on.
But I doubt it. Would anyone remember me anymore? Would anyone care?
Am I the only person who remembers old things like this and wishes they could go see how things are now?
I get all nostalgic about back then, and even back when I was only 12 and 13. All the friends I had online. Friends who, even though they don’t know it, saved me from destroying myself. Without those people, that I haven’t talked to in ages… I wouldn’t be still alive today.
I also kind of doubt they care. I was positively off my rocker a lot of the time, and am now finally stable and have been for a few years now… honestly I am surprised anyone still talks to me sometimes.
You know?
Then again I learned to pull back and barely share.
*sigh* that’s not what this post was supposed to be about!
Do you miss anything?
