Not much in common.

Over the years I have lost contact with all but one of my friends from high school. We have made several attempts to reconnect but it just never feels the same. The only person I still see regularly is my best friend during high school. I will be honest and say that I am not the person pursuing this relationship. It isn't to say I don't like him but rather that we just don't have much in common. He still lives life pretty much the same as he did when his face was covered in pimples and in need of Acneticin. He lives the single life and seems pretty content to remain that way. College was not something he wanted to pursue and didn't. I have lived all around the country and obtained a couple of degrees. I have a wife and two children I prize. The idea of going out drinking or gambling just doesn't interest me the way it would have at age 21. I feel bad about not returning his phone calls but there just isn't much to say anymore. You can only relive high school so many times before it starts to get old. I honestly believe the only reason he keeps trying to reconnect with me is for that sole purpose. High school was the highpoint of his life and his world today just can't compare.
