I'm not who I was though ...I hated high school. I'm not who I was though sometimes I wish I was a bit more like the teenage Lily, because she could truly let most things roll off her back and now I take things a bit more to heart. But I definitely don't have as much drama as I did then. And I do not hang out with the people I went to school with. Gee, I wonder if there is a connection? Ha!!<br /><br />Be glad for your growth..and you really aren't missing anything by not going to your reunions. I haven't been to any of mine for the same reasons you gave. ;)<br /><br />You're doing a great job.<br /><br />♥<br />Lily<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934178675925534780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-54280746310253831242012-09-13T13:38:23.042-04:002012-09-13T13:38:23.042-04:00I guess I'm anomaly because I loved high schoo...I guess I'm anomaly because I loved high school. I also liked who I was. I mean sure there are things I look bak on and oh Gawd seriously?!! But I had a great time and great friends. I am friends with some of the people i hung out in high school with but we definiteky arent still living inthe past! Maybe it's because I grew up in a small farm town? I don't know where I got it from but I had a lot of confidence. I often credit my mom for this. She was a teen mom when she had me and a wallflower. I remember not connectin with my mom as a young woman. I was going to be independent and speak my mind. If you didn't like it oh well. My mom however always but her tongue and often did what she felt was expected instead of what she wanted. She is soooo not that person and has found her own voice. We are best friends now and I feel bad looking back sometimes. I have learned to bite my tongue bc sometimes the argument sure to follow me opening my mouth just isn't worth it. <br />Now I'm rambling! Anyway I'm so glad you found your voice. I am glad you found your place in this world and confidence in your self. I have no doubt that you will raise a string confident daughter!

I...Stands and applauds those first two paragraphs! I guess one of the benefits of being an "outsider" is that you get to grow without that "same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud" getting in the way. Make your own destiny, have no excuses. I see so many of the old partiers who got the DUIs after high school have kids now doing the same... or worse, like holding up the local gas station or B&Es for somebody's old stereo. Nice song, too.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-52709452624532790262012-09-13T11:32:52.583-04:002012-09-13T11:32:52.583-04:00I think back to high school and I'm so not tha...I think back to high school and I'm so not that person any more. <br />If your lucky you can grow up beyond the teenager you were and become the adult you are.<br />I skipped both my 10 and 20 year reunions. I really have nothing in common with those people except we graduated from the same school. I more than that now.VandyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874470026207258769noreply@blogger.com
