  I honestly have nothing in common with or desire to have anything to do with 98% of the people I knew in highschool and when I went to the 10 year one was saddened by what has transpired to the ones I was interested in checking in with.
  2 friends I had stayed in contact with so no surprises for a reunion.
  3 didn't attend.
  1 had become heavily involved with psychedelic drugs and there was nothing left of her old self.
  1 had killed himself with a shotgun due to a drug problem a few years before the 10 year.
  As for the appearance that I put forward... I had gotten heavier and been working in my chosen career field, so had everyone else.
  I won't go to any other reunions I don't see anything good coming from them, I want to remember classmates as they were, and through the filter of nostalgia where bad things have been forgotten and only odd interesting things are remembered. >
  
  Thank you, stranger!  This captured the same reaction and sentiment I had to this post. >
  
  Life is good when you don't care what other people think about you. Everything else is slavery
