while i was in town, i had to stop by andy’s. they call it hwy 55 now, which is ironic because it’s off of highway 55. after ordering and washing my hands, i couldn’t believe the last time i sat in this restaurant was 6 years ago. i looked at the cooks and they just looked like they were high schoolers. it felt like yesterday i was in their shoes ready to experience life beyond high school. seems like the past few years i would’ve gave anything to go back to those times, but as i sat struggling to finish my andy’s cheeseburger, i thought of how ready i am to embrace life at the moment and onward toward the future. some things will never be the same despite how bad you want them to be, and perhaps that’s good for me.
i guess that’s life. i guess they call that growth. i guess things really are changing.
