a blast from the past

My friend, Chad and I met up with a classmate from high school the other night - Tyler. It was pretty interesting hanging out with him and it's interesting when you realize your perspective on people back in high school can be totally wrong. I guess in general, I have a quote that a friend told me once and it has constantly stuck in my head..."I have to keep telling myself, that not everyone hates me." I know that may sound like, "Whoa - why are you thinking that?" But I think it's easy to get that perception with people you sometimes associate with or did asscociate with. I guess this is a realization that I came to the other night - at least with Tyler.
