I'm currently listening to a piece of music that the band did when I was in 8th grade. It was Nimrod from Enigma Variations, and it makes me reflect on those years in middle school.

It doesn't even seem that long ago that I was in middle school. I'll only be a Sophomore this year, but it's still really strange how time flies. Back in 8th grade, I was so eager to start high school. I wanted to so bad I could taste it. And after I did, I realized that it's not as glamorous as it was made out to be, or hard actually. Now that I listen to Nimrod two years later, it reminds me how oddly happy my middle school years were, and how I've come to miss them. Not only has high school opened my mind up to more things than I'll ever really comprehend, it introduced me to heart break and the feeling of being pressured into stuff.

I was too much of a kid to realize how quick those times went, and how happy they were. I was too busy trying to be something I wasn't, and I was too busy trying to make people envy me...For what? Now I miss being sunny and bright all the time, and being...Well, a snot nosed brat. smile

Classical music always has this same strange effect on me, chances are I'll read this later and go...Why?^^
