Have you ever had times or experiences that made you realize that you were too old for things or have outgrown people in your life?
I was thinking about this because of two experiences I had yesterday:
1. I called my best friend since 7th grade yesterday to talk about my wedding (she's a bridesmaid). It was almost like we had nothing to say to each other. It's been building up to this for a while. I went to college; she didn't. I have a good job; she doesn't. Mr. Mox & I are functional; her and her man, not so much. She lives with her parents in our hometown; I moved to a new city and am trying to forge my new life. It's almost like we cannot meet on a common ground anymore. When we actually have conversations, we reminisce about the past but cannot find anything current things to forge ahead in our relationship with. It makes me sad.
2. I was at the mall yesterday (something I don't do very often) and went into the stores I usually check out (American Eagle, Gadzooks being two of them) and felt like, "Oh Lordie. I am the oldest person in this store!" Seriously, I was practically playing tug-of-war with a 14 year old in Gadzooks over a tank top and felt like screaming, "Give it up! I actually have money to spend, hootch!" If I'm wearing the same clothes as someone born after the movie Cocktail came out, then I need to find new places to shop.
