just an investment

Its a horrid feeling when you realize that you are treated as an investment by those you are closest to.....

Footsteps

Isn't it strange how we try so hard to be the men our fathers were...do the same things they did....talk the way they did...drive the same cars they did. Even after 24 years my choice of car is completely influenced by what I am told he liked :)

Driving it now, I feel closer to him

Alternative

I miss the days when alternative music was all over the radio....okay I know this makes me sound really old but it wasn't that far back :) Maybe I associate those songs to some of the best times of my life...with the best company I ever had....and thats why I still put them on repeat everytime I go nostalgic. Some people ask me why I get so quiet when the lyrics go: "let's pretend happy end".....there is only one other person in this world who will understand the significance of that line....that's what we did....many many years ago

Walk away

How do you get the courage to tell someone that you've outgrown them? What are the right words....what is the right tone? I don't think there's any easy way of doing it....atleast none that I have ever come across. Its very cyclical in my case....these sort of situations come up after every few years and I'm always left wondering how this all transpired. Maybe one of these days I will learn.
