My 20-year reunion is coming up in 2 weeks. Not to an elite school mind you, but one that held its own in its expertise. I am looking forward to it and was trying to put my finger on what excites me. I have kept in touch with many people, though there will be folks I haven’t seen in many, many years now. It’s this piece of just being close to people who for four years were in my life everyday and to visit some of those rooms again from a time when every opportunity was still possible. It felt like we were more in control then too.. now we spent each day, what choices lay ahead. The rose glasses of youth still untarnished.
Jen - enjoy it, truly. And I think you’re onto something with the “more in control” feeling, even though it doesn’t hold up if you examine it directly. We had less, objectively. But the choices hadn’t narrowed yet, so it felt like more.
👏

Hope the experience gives you something back.
