I went to my Ten Year High School Reunion on the weekend and I didn’t expect to have as good a time as I did. I was never the cool kid at school, in fact, I was pretty much towards the bottom of the social ladder. At the reunion, no one seemed to care about everything that had happened and who was "popular", it was like we were just a bunch of friends. I saw some people I hadn’t seen for 10 years and I regret having wasted those 10 years without hanging out with them.

It’s feels just like yesterday when school finished, and I’m starting to realise that I’m actually getting old. My parents are getting old and more frail, and it’s finally sinking in. I’m not old in terms of life, but the illusion of being young and immortal is wearing off.
