My son once complained to me, "These are supposed to be the best years of my life!"

I retorted, "According to who?"

I would never go back. All the angst, hormones, etc. Blech!

and if your body isn’t a little bit lighter, at least your spirit is…and that’s the most important part, isn’t it?

very wise post, Mamma…very wise. As a matter of fact, I feel a little lighter myself thinking back on a situation from over 20 years ago with that perspective that you were contemplating. So, thank you…

I can remember daydreaming about going back at my 5-10 year reunion and showing off to all the people I felt discounted me in highschool. In actuality I haven’t been to a single reunion and realized that I really didn’t care anymore. Most are not people I would seek out anyway now – our lives are so different.

Though I did once find out that many of the “popular” clique that I wanted to impress, actually just thought that I wasn’t interested in being friends with them.

I was thinking last night about my high school years, and how I am such a different person now compared to the person I was then. And I was wondering if I ran into someone from high school, they'd realize that in me.

I hope they would.

My fingers are crossed. I hope the jeans were looser!

I’ve recently bumped into a few people I knew in high school and I’ve had some of the same feelings and revelations. I was an oddball in high school and it’s refreshing to know that, even though I’m still goofy, the field has been leveled since school.

My memories of High School are not particularly happy either, like you the old teenage angst. I carried my ‘baggage’ with me until I was forty, (yes I know I don’t look a day over 35 :0}),suddenly everything became very clear and that’s when I really started to enjoy myself.

The funny thing is, when I was in high school I thought I was soooo mature. Because, you know, most mature people go through a can of hairspray a week.

There are two (married) bloggers I read who live in my high school town. I adore these two, but that little fact kinda spooks me a little – because of all that you said…
