Down Town on Memory Lane

I found this picture on Tumblr, and it really got me thinking.
One of my best friends is a guy. And that pretty much describes our friendship. We sing One Direction, goof around, etc. I love it.
And I've always wanted a friend that I've been friends with forever. Most of my friends from elementary (well, actually all of them) have drifted from me. Until I started thinking today.
I was thinking about him, and how we've actually been friends since atleast first grade. 6th and the begining of 7th, we kind of drifted.
But I have this memory from first grade. Our class was eating cookies, and I bit into mine. My tooth fell out. And I'm not a fan of losing teeth, so I was kind of freaking out. My teacher had him take me to the nurse.
We were also the best readers in our class, so we were always in the higher level reading groups. We called him Story box Nate, because he would always tell random stories.

In fifth grade, a different kid (we'll call him Ron) and I would always hang out. We would sit on the hill outside while everyone else played kickball. I remember talking to him about where everyone would be in twenty years. This one girl would be in jail, he would be normal.
We were close.
But now he never talks to me anymore. Whatever.

And so I spent the day remembering the days of elementary school with a smile on my face. Because I loved that school. We'd play huge groups of tag, sing on the playground, and be friends with everyone. No one worried about relationships. it was all perfect.

And even rereading everything I've posted on here.. lol I feel like I've changed so much since then.

  1. It's great that you have such great elementary school memories... I have none, really. I've only stayed in contact with one friend, and she's one of my best friends today. Over time, I guess you learn who your real friends are. :P

    I wish that I had known you back then. The elementary you seems just as awesome as the modern you. ^_^

  2. I love memory lane, <3
    I too used to sit under a tree with my friends during recess and just talk and talk about things only elementary school kids can.

    Sounds like a lot of fun!
