Your head gets real fucked up at those 20 year reunions. I went to one. It was like being in a Twilight Zone / Outer Limits combo episode. LOL
You find out who has already died at a young age, so that's the first thing that totally bums everyone out.
Then you see girls that were the high school babes not so babish any more. And girls that were the school hounds looking remarkably fine as MILF's. It's a really stange phenomena and the guys were all talking about it.
Then you see the kids you thought were going to be the most successful not that successful and the kids that got picked on as geeks all millionaires from the technology era. You quickly regret having made fun of them when they tell you about how much they made selling their software company.
Then you find out a good portion of the teachers you had are all dead and long gone.
The girl you had a crush on you think holy shit what the hell was I thinking.
Your best high school buddies are bald and its fucked up when they walk up to you and you don't recognize them at all. And it sucks when you can tell after talking to people as they walk away everyone is talking about how old everyone else looks.
My reunion was really depressing. A lot of people clearly couldn't handle it and left early. Some real popular kids had died young and it dampened the festive mood everyone was expecting. My best friend had joined the Air Force and died in flight school when he passed out doing maneuvers and his jet went straight into the ground.
Lots of retrospection that's for sure.
