Im knee deep in my high school flashback this week. Ever since i volunteered for coordinating our 20th reunion ive been getting emails from old classmates...even spoken with a couple on the phone and its weird. Seeing their names, seeing pictures of their children, hearing their voices.
It takes you back people.....waaaaay back. And it makes you realize how oblivious you were in your formative years. Most of these people.....really all of these people, are unknown to me. I have collective memories with them, but nothing else. Its a thin connection to your childhood, most of which i cant even remember. Seems kind of sad when you think about it too much. Perhaps looking back makes you appreciate being in the present a little more. It also makes you realize that once a moment has passed IT IS GONE. You cant get it back....not even a photo can capture it.
That being said, those years in West TN im sure were influential in making me into who i am today. And also responsible for alot of much needed therapy......HA!
I figure it will be a hoot though. Reliving or remembering over a cocktail or two.
