Exile or Adulthood?
So as I've stated in a previous post, I've been living at home this summer (without a job may I add). I was lying here trying to sleep and of course I started to become nostalgic - nostalgia is my worst enemy. I thought back to high school and how eventful all of my weekends and summers used to be. I never stayed at home because I was always with my friends. This was an awesome time of my life: I got to be a socialite and dress up cute every night; it was great. I thought about how I spent my time nowadays and it's much different. Actually it's completely different. I never thought I would stray from my high school best friends but it's like I unintentionally exiled myself from the people in Vincennes when I moved to Evansville. I never talk to any of them or see any of them and if I hang out with anyone it's either my boyfriend or my friends I met at USI. Obviously this isn't a big deal because this is what happens when you grow up. You make new friends, you do new things for fun, you make different yet equally as stupid decisions, and the old you will just continue to be a cloud of nostalgia. However then I thought- "is everyone hanging out without me?" Is this separation between me and Vincennes a side effect of growing up or have I just exiled myself? I guess if everyone else's lives are continuing the same as before then I've just pulled myself out of the social circle. In retrospect, that's exactly what I've always wanted to do. I couldn't wait to get out of Vincennes and rid myself of anything having to do with this deadbeat town...so I guess high school Zoë would be proud. Now I'm just rambling and I don't seem to have a point so I apologize to anyone who's actually reading this god awful blog.
