Reminiscing

I was driving back from my parents home late last night and this one radio station was playing "old" songs, or rather rock songs from the 90s. I recognized the tune of this one song immediately and instantaneously I was transported back in time. The song is "Come As You Are" by Nirvana.

Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As a known memory
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is your
Dont’ be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As a known memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

Come
Doused in mud
Cept in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend
A a friend
As a known memory
Memory
Memory
Memory

Several thoughts ran through my head all at once. Youth, innocence, the life ahead, we had it all! Why were we so eager to grow up? I live in a very small suburban town and a lot has changed over the past ten years since we graduated from high school, but somehow some stuff still managed to stay the same. I suppose I feel this way only at the eve of upcoming milestones in my life. My life is about to change drastically. I suppose reflection is a good thing. I am open to change, but it saddens me still.
