High School Reunion

A few weekends ago I went to my high school reunion. It was bizarre and exciting to see old friends and acquaintances. Everyone looked really good, the same, just older. It was a nice night. However, the whole event made me a little sad. I saw people who ten years ago were part of my daily life, and now I never see them. I still like them and still want to see them, but the sad truth is I can't reconnect with everyone. I no longer live in my hometown and not surprisingly lots of my old classmates don't either. Also being friends at 18 doesn't necessarily mean you can be friends again at 28. People change, as they should. Who would want to act like their 18 year old self forever? Not me! Don't get me wrong, some of my closest friends are from my high school days.I just mean people change and not always in compatible ways. A friend of mine described the event as anticlimactic and I have to agree. While enjoyable, there weren't a ton of people there. I would say maybe 80 of the 650 in our class showed up. I didn't stay very long and I think I would have if more people had been there. Overall though, I'm happy I went, I would have regretted not going more.

My epic fail of the night: not taking ANY pictures!! Luckily, my friend Chasity snapped one of us on her camera because otherwise I would have no pictures from the night.
