My 20th High School reunion is this weekend. I am not going. Things are busy because we are getting ready for 2 weeks of much deserved vacation. Also I just didn’t feel like paying to go to a reunion when I can see what is going on with most through Facebook. But I have to admit, I am kind of sad not to be going. I was not the popular kid in high school but I got along with everybody. The people I was close with I still keep in touch with.
A lot has changed for me since the 10 year reunion (which I did attend). I have had a second child; I have found a love for endurance sports; I have gone through a divorce; and I have met the person I don’t ever want to be without. I am happier now than I have ever been. I don’t want to go this weekend to explain that over and over again to people I probably wont see for another 10 years.
I am sure everybody will have a great time and I hope they do!
oh but you will miss the schadenfreude of seeing how fat and bald the captain of the football team has gotten! 😉
enjoying your life with the people who matter most is better time spent than puffing yourself up to strangers from your past
