what a diff'rence a day makes

I was on facebook earlier today and my side bars kept referencing old photo albums I'd posted from like 3ish years ago. Naturally, I clicked on them and it really took me back. House parties and playing in the snow in "The usual shenanigans", sunsets on the beach in "A Series of Stupidity", randomness at Cha Cha in "photobooth", travels to Hawai'i, the Philippines, & Japan, and of course, all of the unforgettable nights clubbing with my ladies. I don't know if this is sad to say, but I really really miss those days. I'm really happy with my recent successes, especially professionally/academically, but nonetheless, I can't help but find myself constantly thinking of the ease, fun, and happiness of days of yore.

perhaps I'm just making excuses, but I've also been very unhappy about a lot of things in my life for the past few years and I'm riding a lot of hope on my move. I've always loved living in the city and I'm still at a point in my life where I prefer a more urban lifestyle. I don't want to be in the suburbs and I especially hate that I'm so far away from everything and everyone. A lot of this unhappiness that I've been feeling stems from feeling left out. I feel like I'm missing out from all these things that are happening in the city, things that my friends are doing, that people my age are doing that I should be and want to do too.
