Today is my 20 year HS reunion. It's a big deal and I wish I was at it. There are a number of people that will be at the reunion that I went to school with from kindergarten to 12th grade. I'd like to see some of them. Plus, I'm proud of where I'm at in life, what I've accomplished and what I'm currently working on.
A few years back I was talking with the Executive VP of the company I worked for and he mentioned that he had just gone to his 30th reunion. He said that he was really impressed with how happy and successful everyone turned out to be. Then, he realized that there was a reason for this. When you aren't happy or successful, you tend to not want to go to such things.
Do you think he's right?
I think that happiness and success can only be measured by the individual.
I wish I could have been there. I tell you one thing, everyone from the class of 1995 would be walking around with Hubski stickers in their pockets.
Have you ever been to a reunion? If so, what am I missing out on?
I have not been to any reunion and I have no contact with anyone from the old high school. There was a time when I really hated the people I interacted with during this time in my life, but now that I am older I realize that anger over stuff that children did and how they acted is misplaced. I have worked through that nonsense and realize now that the stuff that went down in high school means less than nothing in the general trajectory of life.
I have no desire to revisit this time in my life, and honestly don't care about the lives of any of these people. Living well is the best revenge and all that.
