Must've been something in the water. I was part of a group of four friends that were pretty much always together in Junior High (now called middle school). From that group: 3 went to college 1 became an alcoholic (now in recovery) 1 died early (just past thirty) 1 got married 0 had any children So how'd it turn out for you and your set of friends? #Time #Friendship #OldPeopleOfMastodon

    @mmiasma@mastodon.sdf.org I lost touch with all of my school friends. I moved in the middle of junior high and then graduated a year early so I was only in school where I graduated for a year and a half. Didn't make any really solid, lasting friendships. Didn't stay in touch with anyone from college, either. My oldest friend is someone I met in the early 1990s; he lives in Vermont with his wife and raised three sons. We text to each other about a dozen times a year.

  • @mmiasma@mastodon.sdf.org I had few friends in high school and have only stayed in touch with one of them; we've been friends since 3rd or 4th grade. She wanted to be a veterinarian; she is. (It's commonplace now, for women to be vets, but was quite rare in the late 70s!) I've got a master's degree in public health. She and I are both happily married; I have 3 kids, she has none.

  • @mmiasma@mastodon.sdf.org I perfectionist would try to achieve all 5 of those things. I sense slacking! in all seriousness, time is a cruel mistress, making sci-fi time travellers of us all. why I hope to maximize the positives and not its negatives. soooo many negatives loltears
