Does the past mix with the today?

Why do we meet people in life? What does it all mean and where are we supposed to take those relationships?
I've met a lot of great people in my life and somehow, over time, you just tend to let them break away from you. Your lives move in two entirely different directions and somehow they no longer exist in the foreground of your mind. Their presence is a mere memory that can be found at times hovering ever so faintly over you.
Why are we so quick to let these lives slip from us? Is it not the people we meet who help to make us who we are? Is it not the experiences had with these very souls that give us the ability to grow and learn?

I saw NFG last night for the first time in 6 years and they rocked it. They made me feel exactly how I wanted them to... like I was 16 years old again. Made me think about all the people I've let slip to the back of my mind and wonder what would have happened if I never lost them at all? It's funny how music can take a person back so far to a time where nothing could get you down. A time full of friendships and music.

The best song of the night by far was Coming Home. I'm so glad I could go back to those times standing next to my brother, best friend in the world. In this moment, nothing had changed, there was no stress, no troubles of proceeding into adulthood. Just raw fun. Hype and loads of laughter. Being covered from head to toe in others sweat might not sound like the best night out for some, but to us and those who knew me then... there's nothing better. Last night was exactly like coming home... to everything that makes me who I am and there was no better feeling in the world.
