i cannot count the times that i listened to the Fishy song by Philmore throughout high school and early in college. it holds such great memories, and yet, it's shocking to think that my life has changed so radically since that point in time that i don't even totally understand why i liked it so much back then.
isn't that kinda funny? things can have such emotion attached to them purely based on memories from past-you, but future-you would prolly laugh, not get them, or understand why silly past-you would ever like them. sometimes i wonder...
what would 18 year old Kelly have to tell 28 year old Kelly? i think people always talk 'bout it the other way around, ya know? like, what would 28 year old Kelly tell 18 year old Kelly. yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know this story line, "don't do this, you'll totally regret it", "bet on the Saints", "don't eat so much Taco Bell", etc etc. but the untold story of how not to forget who you used to be.
time can do some funny things to you, and i really think God leaves these grand little nuggets of memories for us to find, a gentle little reminder of who we were, or maybe who we still are, we've just hidden that part away for a little while.
time to come out and play lil' 18 year old Kelly, you had a lot of fun back then, let's try it again, only this time with 10 more years of knowledge behind you... put the two of us together and we could do some pretty awesome stuff :)
