Our family hasn't moved since I started Kindergarden. As a result I grew up with the same group of 90 (or so) kids for the past nine years. Sometimes, I still see them as if they were still in fourth grade. Good times. Entering high school, I think I've seen some of them change. It's amazing! Mind blowing.

It's like watching the years go by so fast. In the end, you realize that everyone already grew up. And because you are your own person and you experience this whole painstaking process of growing up second by second, you get this feeling that maybe you didn't really grow up at all. You feel left behind. Although by going through that thought process you know that you did grow up over the years. Or did you?

Benefit of the doubt, yes? It's a terrible thing.
