Can someone really make good after sooo long?
Today I booked my travel to visit people I have not seen, talked to or otherwise connected with in 20 years. I am talking about my High School Reunion.
It has been a long time, this is for sure, but is it possible to reconnect after so long? I am horrible about keeping in touch with people. It is a real shame too because I have met so many awesome people over the years and have let many of them sort of slip away because I just don't make a huge effort to keep in touch. It's a fucking sickness! What will it take to get me to keep in better communication with those people? Well, this hopefully is a start - a chance to start over, if you will.
I was not sure if I was going to be able to go, or even if I really wanted to go. I was contacted through Myspace.com by a group from my graduating class. When starting to reconnect with old school and classmates I started chatting with one that went a lot farther away than me. I moved to the upper East coast of the US (after 7 years of travelling in the Air Force). This person moved to Australia. When I learned they were making the trek back to the Houston for the reunion, I sort of felt foolish. If she can fly so far, I can at least take some time from work and fly down too.
So today I booked by flight, hotel and car. In a few weeks, I will see people I have not seen in 20 years. It is sort of funny because it really feels like only yesterday (if you will pardon the clich). I am 38 now but I really still feel like a teenager that just left high school. So here I am - partly excited and partly nervous. Hell, I don't know if many will remember me. I am hoping at least a few do.
