Over the weekend I celebrated my 10 year High School Reunion.
Where has the time gone? 10 years seems a lifetime ago, yet when I was sitting around talking to some classmates I hadn't seen since graduation, I didn't feel like that much time had gone by.
To be honest, I was dreading my reunion. My divorce was just finalized...I'm still getting back on my feet, and I've gained 15 pounds this year. All of these are actually positives, but how do you convey that to someone you haven't seen in 10 years.
And then, I started talking to my old classmates and all my worries melted away. I realized that the women I was speaking with, well they were all supportive. I went to an all girls Catholic High School. And I truly feel that each and one of us who were there that evening, had grown into amazing young women.
An old classmate of ours posted something on her Facebook about how traumatic HS was for her. How people laughed at her...I think HS, college, life, work, etc. is whatever we make of it. If she could have taken a step back and not played the victim she might have realized in going to the reunion how much everyone has grown.
For me it was a gift being able to see everyone and how happy their lives were. And to share with them just a snippet of what my life has been the past decade.
