Things I remember most about high school

The yellow rose bush in front of Hannah's house. I can still smell them. Learning to horseback ride. Eating fresh peas. Big butts and I cannot lie. Liverversch. Not dissecting a frog and having to dissect a cat. Were we really learning about geometry or algebra or just talking? It is funny the things that I remember now. And the ones I try to forget.

I know what you mean. I am trying to stop trying to forget things now though. Did that make any sense? Well, most things. I think that most of the memories I've been attempting to suppress all these years have something to do with our conversation regarding our (our, not just my!) guilt about how we all kinda just drifted away from each other. Now that I know that first, no one condemns me for that, and second, many of us seem to share a bit of that guilt together, I don't really find it necessary to avoid this stuff any more.

I'm not saying many of us are to blame, I'm just saying that I now realize many of us FELT the way I did. Savvy?

And I thought I was the only guilty one. I guess it comes from that leaving first guilt, like I couldn't hold anything together. Now I realize that it's not really glue. It's more like velcro peeling off....
