"what you love you must love now"

i've been thinking a lot about old friends lately. old friends, faith, fate, meaning, destiny, growing up, potential - squandered or realized. i also recently read survivor by chuck palahniuk and girlfriend in a coma by douglas coupland - two very different but similar novels, in ways i can't articulate very well. the loss of innocence, confrontation, confusion, questioning "the plan," searching for meaning, redemption.

remember being sixteen and believing in the possibility of anything and everything?
