Catching up is bittersweet.

Recently, I have been to two events where I got to catch up with people I knew from high school (& earlier). This is very bittersweet for me. On the sweet (positive) side, it is fun! You find that the caring friendship you felt for them before is still alive inside. You get excited about seeing them and finding out how they're doing, and you genuinely care because you have such a history together. You wonder how you let things lapse such that you haven't heard from or talked to them in years. After the sweet side, the bitter side often kicks in. It seems like everyone is so much further in their lives. They are in (or graduated from) grad school, have their own apartments, are engaged or married, have a dog, know what they want to do in their lives. But not me. So sometimes these types of events make  me pretty depressed. It just seems like everyone is somewhere and I am nowhere. Then I get myself a frappuccino to try & make myself feel better (Starbucks is my friend). Or maybe that's just me....
