This fall is my first high school reunion. I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip it this time around. In fact, knowing me, I'm probably going to skip all of them.
I used to be pretty once. People told me that back then, but I didn't believe them. I didn't realize how pretty I really was until I gained 50 pounds. I lost some of it, but I won't be able to lose enough before the reunion.
Most of my classmates' parents were rich and therefore went to college. Being from a poor family, that wasn't an option for me. I'm proud that I've managed to get myself through 2 years of college, but I still have another 2 years to go.
I'm unemployed. None of my previous jobs were that impressive either.
I didn't have many friends then, so there won't be many people to look forward to seeing again if I went to the reunion. I know I'll just end up sitting in the sidelines again, just like I did in high school.
I'm afraid the girls I hated back then will look prettier than me. In fact, they probably do, unless they've gotten fat too.
My husband refuses to attend high school reunions. I'm afraid if I go without him, no one will believe me when I tell them I'm married.
I'm so scared of failure and rejection that I ended up not doing much with my life at all. I'd have nothing to talk about.
I never realized I would become such a loser.
Class of 1994, have a nice reunion...without me.
