Lost

Today, I happened to come across a blog of a friend from college. Well... I can't really call her my friend. We barely knew each other, hardly ever talked. Just another person I knew from college. She was a very good person, a voracious reader, really nice person to talk to, and her sketches used to be just too good. But for some reason, in spite of being "cool" n stuff, she never became a part of the gang. May be because she was unusually quiet, but she was not. She was pretty much talkative when somebody actually went and talked to her. And, after reading her blog, I realize that she has quite good friends there. But then how come she never really hung around with us?

Sometimes, when I look back, I feel that I could have missed out so many things in life that I should have done. Many people whom I never bothered to talk to, when we could have hit off well. So many people who were good friends at one point of time, but we just lost touch for particularly no reason or just because I was too lazy to keep in touch. I read this somewhere the other day:
"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about the people from your past. There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."
How rude!

This nostalgia bit makes me think... shit, I am yet to do so many things. I am way off target of the things that I should have achieved by the time I am 22. And with this 'my life being short' crap, I am not really feeling too good about myself. I got to do something about it.
