changing hearts

I'm living in a different city far from our home since i graduated high school, and after four years of study i have already had my degree. It was great right? as some of my former classmates in high school have gone to their own lives. but still i continue to communicate with them, but less with each passing year. I've met some unforgettable people at college and learned from them that life wasn't that great when you "grow up". until i went home for the yuletide season, that, i must say is life changing.

As my life became more centered for building my future i forgot the different things that are important in life. And that is constant communication. When i got home, i saw my high school friends carrying their child or children through grocery stores, or having a stroll around the beach or having dinner in some restaurants, they were happy. But adapting the city girl character, i began to wonder what has become of them that they chose not to pursue their dreams but instead became homey. Because Ive been fully aware about their dreams as they are to mine(well 5 years ago). I kept this to myself. Time really changes everything, i still can remember them saying to me before what they are planning through life.

I've known of the different opportunities that life has to offer, and even have a glimpse of what would be 10 years after if we just struggle and survive to fight for what we want. But i guess, understanding them is much easier now than proving my point.

I guess being able to live in an environment on which there is a wide selection of careers, leisure, opportunities affect a persons understanding of life.
