just some random, probably depressing thoughts, at least for me:
finding that i've fallen "out of love" with everyone i've fallen "in
love" with during my lifetime. and not currently being "in love", or at
least seriously infatuated, with anyone.
feeling as though i'm back in high school with the same old rut of not
fitting in completely and just concentrating on work, telling myself
that things will be better after this stage of my life. (high school ->
college, college -> grad school)
discovering that i have very little in common with the people around me
other than the fact that we're going to MIT and working really hard.
realizing that i have nothing interesting to say to anyone, were we ever
to have the time to sit down and chat.
knowing that a close relationship i've had has changed subtly and it
just doesn't feel the same anymore.
on that note, here are some appropriate excerpts from "After the Thrill
Is Gone" by the Eagles, 1975:
"You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends /
After the thrill is gone"
"Time passes and you must move on / Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of a song / After the thrill is gone"
"You're afraid you might fall out of passion /
And you're feeling cold and small"
"You don't care about winning / But you don't want to lose
After the thrill is gone"
