Lessons on life....20 years in the making

Last night I attended my 20 year High School reunion. I’m sure everyone is nervous to attend theirs, have apprehension and not sure if they want to attend. I wouldn’t be any different as my nerves were wrapped up in a ball. But I ventured off with my HOT date and we went to celebrate the evening.

When attending your HS reunion what does one expect? To bond with old friends, catch up and maybe even show off a little? I’m sure it’s all of that, the problem for me was that I wasn’t really close to anyone my senior year from my graduating class. My best friends were my friends from youth group and we all attended different HS’s. So it was a bit bitter sweet to attend, sure it was nice to see old faces and see how people have grown and matured, but it also made me realize that I wasn’t really close to anyone in my graduating class. Is that sad? *sighs*

The evening wasn’t a flop but I suppose feeling like the forever bridesmaid and never a bride, can wear on a person after awhile, and last night that’s how I felt. The positive was that J was there being supportive, sexy, loving and himself. *smiles*

Speaking of J, ever met someone that is so hot you wonder why they are with you? That’s J, I mean I understand why I’m seeing him, but not so much him me. He’s HOT and Michelle told me today to not over analyze it because that is when you ruin things when you keep asking why someone is with you. So I am just going with the flow, enjoying the time together and getting to know each other better. Not pushing or running forward, lol I can’t not really, since he has his boys and that will make sure we stay grounded.

I attended film out with Michelle today and we watched an amazing short film called Johnny & Lyman. It’s the love story of 2 gay men who had been together for 65 years. Unfortunately Lyman passed away last month, but the documentary telling about their lives together, how they meet, and lived through 65 years as a gay loving couple was touching, poignant and beyond words. I can’t even explain how their story shows that love straight or gay is powerful of cherished and nurtured. The advice they give to other couples on how to maintain healthy loving relationships touched my heart. I hope the for all mankind, that regardless of your sexual preference that you can see into the truth of their message and be as touched by it as I have been.
