And I can think of when the days were better

I always thought we’d be that young forever,
Oh oh oh oh!
Remember when we were kids:
Just thinking about muh homiez, and how fucking lucky I am because no matter where I go, I’m somehow always able to meet people I can truly call family and friends. :) I feel right at home here, yet the only thing I want to do now is go back to Singapore and give every single loved one a huge motherfucking sloppy kiss on the forehead.
Ade was bringing me up to speed on CBCO’s misadventures and while she was updating me on how the boys have left the army and are now slowly settling into jobs and school and stuff, it just made me think about how it seemed just yesterday when we were all seated around a table in Spinelli’s, talking about how the boys are going to enlist in a few weeks’ time and laughing at mental images of WM trying to be a manly recruit. That all happened just over two years ago, and now we’re here. Where did those two years go?
I don’t know whether I’m actually troubled or not, but I’ve been thinking more and more about old age, and how we’re all actually hurtling through the years with the speed of light. When I was five, I didn’t even think about turning twenty … and now I’m turning twenty two. Motherfuck man, where did those seventeen years go?
