High School Reunion?

I reconnected with a friend on facebook. We have not had much contact over the last few months we have been in contact but he invited me to a party. It is his girl friend's birthday party and he was also going to surprise her by proposing to her. Normally I would not attend this type of thing but it was a reunion of old friends and it was neat to see high school sweat hearts get the chance to finally get engaged.

The party was fun and I met some new people. I heard all sorts of crazy stories I had not heard before and most of them I almost would not have guessed to have been true. I got to catch up with a few people and honestly I had no intention of re-establishing any of the long lost relationships. It is funny to see people that were such a huge part of my social life growing up and see how their lives have turned out and what has happened to them.

The more I talked with them I realize I would not have remained close friends with any of them aside from our connections via church. Most of them have become different people from who I remember and I am a different person from who I use to be so there is no rush to re-establish any friendships. It was interesting this weekend to see the cliches are true. People do change and grow older and grow apart or something like that.
