Memories ...
I recently decided to go on my Facebook account after letting it sit fallow for some months, purely on a whim. Well, actually, it was after getting friended from one of my old high school pals. In the last few days, I've probably managed to link up with 15 or so of my old Myers Park and Carolina friends.
It's heartening in part, but a bit saddening on the other. Looking at where I am now--divorced, living with my mom, working in a warehouse--I feel like I let a lot of people down. After all, I had a lot of people looking up to me. Also, Myers Park was the first place where most of the people I knew accepted me for who I am, warts and all. Seeing how they're doing now reminds me of how much of a roller coaster the last five years have been.
