talking with ming, 5.13.25

my uncle, grandma, and auntie are in town. i love it when we have family over because we always have a full house. everyone is cooking, eating, laughing, it’s a good time. i ended up going to the gym but when i got back, only my auntie was around. she was in the kitchen putting a few things away. i asked where everyone was at and she said they all went to the casino, but she stayed back. we ended up sitting in the living room talking about life. she mentioned a few times how time flies, and it really does. i know i write about it a lot, but i haven’t heard someone older than me say it to me in a long time. it resonated with me even more when she said it because we were talking about memories with ta and all the family vacations we used to take. the same memories i have as a kid, she has from her 20’s and 30’s. isn’t that crazy to think about?

i don’t know, maybe it’s just me but this life truly is passing us by at a speed unjust to our memories.
