Sucker for Nostalgia

I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I cling on to the good stuff like my life depends on it (to be honest, I believe, it does). I'm a peculiar case in that the thing I get nostalgic about need not even be in the past. A mere thought of an impending end is all that is required for nostalgia to get triggered. Now that my family has moved to Alleppey (neighbouring district of Ernakulam), my final year blues have hit an all time low. It's as if things are slowly attaining a finality. Friends, family and everyone else will go their ways.

If there's one song that perfectly describes how I feel now, it's "Rivers and Roads" by the Head and the Heart.
"A year from now, we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away. 
And they're going to better places.
But our friends will be gone away. 

Nothing is as it has been
And I'll miss your face like hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I'll miss your face like hell. 

Been talkin' about the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
If you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
So if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate.

Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers, till I reach you. "

It's funny how I call myself an adult and yet I have got not a clue as to what I wish to do with my future (in every sense). But I guess, I'll find a way. Till then, rivers and roads. 

- A very clueless me.
