Last weekend, I went back to Oklahoma City after 11 years…. not a lot has changed…. the usual suburban expansion, but not as explosive as I thought (or as I see in Atlanta)…. I went to my old high school’s reunion…. It was good seeing my old friends again. Still kinda cliquish…. wonder if that ever changes. What was really interesting is that a couple folks made it to Atlanta after all these years. What was spooky was people that remembered me, and I didn’t remember them. Oh, I pretended that I did, but…. well. I guess you can’t remember everyone.
What was odd was seeing people I went to high school with that lost all their hair, or got REALLY big, or got REALLY skinny. A little scary is who’s actually married and reproduced (and how many times, one girl has four kids, the oldest almost 11! OOPS!) And what’s really funny in the midst of all of this… how much people stay the same.
Taking a look at myself…. outwardly, I’ve stayed pretty much the same… but I’m a totally different person than I was in high school…. looking back, there’s a lot more I wish I had done. Guess hindsight truely is 20/20.
