Over the past couple of days I’ve talked to a lot of old friends from high school. We played catch up, while at the same time reliving our younger days. Which got me thinking, when do the younger days become obsolete and present time take over?
I ask this because I sometimes wonder how many people get left behind in the past.
I’m fortunate that the friends I talked with have moved on and live their lives in the present, but I know there are a lot of people out there who never make it out of what they consider their glory days. I think that’s sad. Why is it that high school is their finest hour, when in respect to time, it’s just a blip on the map?
I guess all these things are coming to mind as my high school reunion looms large on the horizon of next year.
