My 10 year reunion. What do you write about a weekend you spent gathering with dear old friends, some of whom you haven't seen since the day you all wore green caps and gowns and celebrated your 'freedom' from the ever so confining walls of high school? (funny we thought THOSE days were full of responsibility and constraint!) Well, I don't really know what to say. But I know I had an amazing time. It was nostalgic and wonderful and so incredibly good to see such sweet faces. I think we all realized time has been incredibly good to us in a lot of ways... say, our fashion sense for one (Oh Lordy the jeans we wore!), our wounds (thank goodness for the way time allows us to let go of things that used to matter so much!), our immaturity (I can neither confirm nor deny any old footage of certain boys in dresses and certain dramatic girls that may or may not have surfaced this weekend...) But for as much as time has changed things, this weekend was a really neat reminder to me that some things can stick beyond years; it didn't matter that I hadn't seen some of these friends for almost a decade, in a way it felt like we jumped into a time capsule for a weekend and enjoyed each other just as much as we did 10 years ago...maybe more! Simply because of a shared common experience; that being the crazy time in our lives called adolescence. A time when we all learned way too much, way too quickly- about friendships, relationships, growing up, and figuring out who you are. It was fun to see that 10 years later; there were still tiny glimpses of the people we became when we were together; just better versions of them...if I do say so myself ;)
