Day 316

Time Capsule
yesterday I opened up a time capsule
I had put away in 2000
when I was nine years old
and had to do it for some sort of project.
expecting to find shiny things,
I was shocked to find that
even as a child
I was introspective
and still want many of the same things
I wanted back then...

A lanyard from camp
A pokemon card
A pickachu keychain
A catdog keychain
pictures from when I was much younger
A receipt for gas (1.39 a gallon)
'2000' glasses, (after celebrating the millenium)
Notes about my favorite things
Ideas about the future
Memories
An autobiography


And I sound the same
but at the same time,
different.
