I just recently started talking to a woman I used to know in high school. She is the first person I have spoken to from that time in my life aside from the one person I have known for years. In the beginning, I had no idea who she was. Of course I pulled out my yearbooks, but could not find her. Then talking with a friend of mine, he remembered her a bit which allowed me to really rack my brain and try to figure out the puzzle. I did eventually remember her. Well today, she sent me a picture of us together standing by a pond on a school trip. I don't have any candid shots like that so it is very disturbing the way I dressed back then compared to how I dress today. I had a really good laugh at myself. I called my mom and said I couldn't believe she let me out of the house looking like that. I believe the outfit I had on that day were hand-me-downs from her. Would I ever want to go back to high school? I don't think so. That part has been thankfully blocked out.
