Growing Up

An all too familiar phrase for people like us as we sift through this "life" thing trying to ind our way. I sit at the bar with people I've known for years laughing and joking about the same things we've always laughed and joked about; however now things are more elevated, more pressing. Sure, we have somewhat of a sense of urgency about what the future brings, but we're still those same kids that used to run around the playground. I've met tons of people in the past five years, but for the most part, its those I met long ago, in those middle school hallways or high school organizations that mean the most. So yea, I'm growing up, we're growing up, but rather than changing, I see many of us just eveolving into the people we always were destined to be.
