I remember...
1) being innocent and carefree
2) when I used to wake up in the wee hours of the morning just to feel the magic of being the only one awake, curled up in the sofa reading Enid Blyton. Such times are few and far between now, and its no longer E.B.
3) a time when murderous shootings like the Virginia Tech massacre would cause me to react with horror and repulsion
4) a little girl who never realised the power of words, especially to hurt..
5) thinking I was better
6) a time when I everything was either black or white.
7) friends who were angelic and could never do any wrong in my eyes..
8) rejecting the obvious
9) when 10 p.m. was LATE
10) feeling either happy or sad
And now...
1) I am neither that innocent nor very carefree either
2) the magic is lost because the innocence is lost and there aren't any of E.B's pixies and goblins and brownies to bring it all back
3) I'm afraid that I'm growing immune to violence because we're all getting used to it? What a horrifying thought..
4) I know that words are worse than the sharpest sword. True, with words there's no scar but what's left behind is a wound that is kept open and forever raw by that traitor within - memory..
5) I realise I'm not, I'm just different
6) life is all shades of grey, with or without the rose-tinted glasses..
7) friends are only human and when things happen to those closest to you, your idea of right and wrong wavers and you learn not to be too judgemental
8) I'm embracing it and its for the better
9) what a laugh! =]
10) I feel : happy, sad, excited, melancholy, depressed, listless, ecstatic, lonely, loved, annoyed, angry, disappointed, okay, calm, confused, jealous, moody, accomplished and etc. - a myriad of emotions I can't even start to comprehend

to tell you the truth, i couldn't have said it any better.
but that's the thing about time. it does wonders to a person, be it good or bad.
that's true.. But, in a way its almost magical.. Over time, people change so much, but then they stay exactly the same. Funny..
