was posted on my wall. I was a little taken back; not in a bad way. I didn't react negatively; there was no jumping back or screaming "God, why!?" I was actually pleasantly surprised. It coud even be said that I got excited about this prospect of see the "elementary gang".  And that's when it hit me, hard as dogde ball to the stomach, that I have actually grown up just a little bit.

 

Not to long ago, a proposition such as this would have caused a range of unwelcomed emotions to rise and me assuredly resting in the conclusion that I would never attend the event. I know why; I understand just a little bit more of myself. I would have been ashamed; I would have felt unwanted and projected that my peers perceived they were better than me. I made them to be snobbish and ill in my own mind and therefore, they were in my reality. But they're not. In fact, most of them are very fun and remarkable people who have goals and lifestyles that I am now want to get to know.

 

I am quite proud of my progress. I am quite thrilled by "hanging out", and all that entails. Congradulations, Ms. Stork, you are an adult.
