Hi. I can relate to obsessing over high school memories. The sad part is that they do not help us move on with our current life. I was the Senior Prom Queen and I had a boyfriend who was 23 years old. Actually, I went to too many parties and it rotted my brain. I blame my reckless high school years for my deficiency that I have at 43 years old. I do not have a bachelors degree yet. Maybe someday I will. The highest degree I have is an Associates Degree.
I also went to a redneck school that did not support getting a good job upon graduation. I didn't know what a good job was. I joined the Navy for 4 years and I found commitment. I am currently going to business college.
I think it is cool to reminisce and remember the good times that you had with your friends. I am sure that you had a lot of friends. Everyone moves apart and starts their own lives. It is sad and depressing because there is noone to lean on. I try to stay busy and go to the library, or get coffee, or go to church. I am done partying and I have been sober 16 years. I was in Alcoholics Anonymous until I was strong enough to be on my own.
I make small talk with people at work and the diners that I go to. I don't talk to any of my high school friends anymore. I can find them in the yearbooks online. I really hope that I helped you to stop obsessing about the past. Thanks.
