  • You can go visit Six Flags tomorrow*, but its impossible to visit the exact moment you went to Six Flags years ago when you were a kid.

    I have to remind myself that sometimes of the best times with friends that I have lost over time, sometimes distance, and sometimes growing apart.

    Even if we were back in the same place with the same ppl, it would never be the same. Because of time.
