reality bites (pretty damn hard, actually)

it’s amazing really what one year can do. here I am thinking that nothing’s changed, that everything has remained the same, when I realized that that’s not the truth. far from it, in fact.

and I realized that just now, while ym-ing my old high school buddies and busmates.

how one year can change a person so much, yet that person can still remain the same. how so much has happened between the two of you (and everyone else) yet still…

dammit. I miss everyone. I really do.

it’s this whole sense of college hitting me all over again. how I want to see them, despite all the changes surrounding us, but how there are so much obstacles in the way. and so much excuses.

and then you realize that it’s too late. that one year has actually gone by. and then you look at yourself and realize how much you changed and how much others have changed.

and you can’t go back. no matter how hard you try. all you have to do is think of the present, think of the future. and try not to commit the same mistakes again.

but you know that won’t happen. you know it’s a vicious cycle. and more often than not, there’s nothing you can do about it.

punyeta talaga o…
