Reunions

Last night I had dinner with an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while. While catching up on what is currently going on in our lives, our conversation was drawn to an upcoming anniversary we share – 10 years out of high school and thus our high school reunion.
Admittedly I wasn’t part of the A list but I had a great group of friends and network, and I can’t help wondering what a reunion of these people will be like. I haven’t kept touch with many people from high school mostly because I didn’t want to. It’s funny to think back and remember thinking “I am going to be friends with FOREVER.” And now lives in a trailer park in Rio Linda, is missing half their teeth and you haven’t spoken to that person since you were 19 - my how our times change.
10 years is a long time though to not see people you basically grew up with. Schools are SO big now and graduating classes have more students in them than my entire high school had when I graduated. We were a pretty close knit class I am anxious to see some of the people I haven’t seen in 10 years. While true, the reason I want to see most of them is to laugh – I do genuinely want to see a few people I liked but lost touch with.
Since the reunion is in August – I’ve gone into overdrive with my working out (this epiphany just hit me last night) – I am secure with who I am however, I’d love to look better than I did in high school, is that so bad?!
