things just sound better
Apr. 23rd, 2007 06:21 pmi used to go to sleep-away camp every summer.
the summer i was ten, i came back from camp and found all my friends had changed somehow. i couldn't figure out just *how*, only that they had. it felt a little weird, i felt out of place. i remember finding myself bored by them and the games i used to love playing, or just finding them emptier somehow. it was a couple weeks before it dawned on me that it wasn't them and the world around us that had changed - it was me. it didn't help me figure out the cause, but it was a surprise to realize my perception could do a 180 like that.
