The Other Day I Met With A Friend From Highschool

I was hesitant at first, and really nervous. This would be the first person I have seen from highschool since I had left.
One thing that really stuck with me is how much she told me I had changed.

At first I laughed, I thought she meant appearance. Which is true. Highschool for me consisted of sweatpants and my hair in a bun, everyday.

Afterwards she mentioned yes, the change was partly appearance, but mostly personality. She could not believe how much confidence I had.

Funny, most of my Toronto friends tell me everyday how I need to have more confidence.

I guess I have changed. It may be a small change to those around me, yet those who haven’t seen me in years see it as a transformation. It made me realize how much I really appreciate my friends. These people, these wonderful people, have helped change me for the better. Little by little, I hope to learn more from them, and maybe become a person who has one good thing to say about herself.

Most of the time, people are alone. However, being alone, may very well be a choice. Some decide to deal with problems alone, others talk to family or confide in a friend. All of these are choices, and none make us less than we are as person.
I think I realize that now.

I am glad I went.
