Well, 40 yrs ago I was a Senior in High School. This was Homecoming weekend and I was on the Social Committee.  I had been on the Social Committee 4 yrs and decorated or did something for homecoming each year.

I never had a date in High School. I was the responsible one. My parents were both alcoholics and I was usually taking care of a brother or sister (which I have 1 sister and 2 brothers).

I was never in the in crowd or  the outsiders. Never was welcomed by anyone. I had few friends.

To put this in prospective of today’s world. This weekend is my 40th High School reunion and I choose not to be a part of it. I did help post about the activities. But that was it, I am not sure if I want to see anyone from High School and I am not sure they want to see me. I did attend my 25th reunion mixer and only 1 person came and talked to me. Bummer

I did say Hi to a few and had a coke or 2 but that was it. I was there with my hubby and well I was uncomfortable.

So this year I thought. What if?  and I thought more and more about it and the more I was like why should I go?  It would have been great to see one or 2 people and maybe start a conversation and share. But then all the hurt would come up and things wouldn’t be right.

 

But, I will never know. I am trying to talk to a few on Facebook and having a few conversation and nothing. But, hey I am trying to build friendships and see where they go. Maybe I will go to my 50th who knows
