Mine was cancelled as it should have happened during covid.

I might have gone just to see a few people I enjoyed hanging out with, but lost touch with. And it's okay, life happened and we all moved on to something else.

I still have a few friends from high school I see on a regular basis, so maybe I have actually regular high school reunions?

as a parent of high schoolers myself, I will come across other parents who will say that they tell their kids to enjoy high school because it's going to be the greatest days of their life. I disagree greatly with this perspective, but I think this type of person is who class reunions are for. I did not particularly enjoy high school so I am not seeking to relieve those days and would not go.

So agree here.

I remember back when I was in high school some really old alumni came back for an award and gave a speech. He went on about how these were “the absolute best years of his life” and how we should enjoy them.

The kid next to me was like “That’s depressing as shit. That guys in his 80s, has a family, and this was the best thing he ever experienced? Sounds like his priorities have never been straight.”

Always stuck with me. Was really profound at the time.
