So Anyway...

Last night I got a huge shock !!
3yrs ago, I really fell for someone and it wasnt reciprocated, in fact the situation turned nasty
and I was left out in the cold 😢
It took me a long time but i picked myself up, and bit by bit, got a better job, new friends etc etc
These days my life is good, but every now and again i wonder what became of that person and are they
still with the one that they chose over me, do they still look the same blah, blah, blah
Thru a mutual friend, last night I found out !!!
They sent me some pics of a recent party held by the two of them (obviously still together)
OMG - that person is only 2yrs older than me, but looks more like 20yrs older, piled on the weight, so
much that i didnt recognise them at first !!
And the second thing that hit me was that neither looked happy or just "like a couple" if you
know what i mean ?

Well, Me, Dogsbody, I look exactly the same 🙂

I am now truly thankful that I was rejected coz if id had a Crystal Ball and was able to see what I would
have been with these days, Well..........

The lesson i learned is...
Never compare yourself to anyone else, or think that they are having the time of their lives when youre not!!
Thats what I did, and looking at those pics brought it home.

Im now very happy to be me "Dogsbody" 🙂

I went to my 10 year ....just had my 20 year this year ....I know I am old *sigh* I did not go to 20.....the way I see it ......I am already in touch with people from HS that I want to be in touch with ....why would I pay to go see people who I don't even know any more or care to see?......I did not get much out of my 10 .....I was already still in touch with my friends from HS. Don't get me wrong ....HS was a great experience for me .....but I am such a different person from 20 years ago.

Some of my friends went to their 20 year and said it was fun.

PD

I have found that hindsight is always 20/20 dogsbody. It's so funny when I look back on situations that I was devasated about now...it all seems so unimportant and almost like they didn't happen.
Makes you wonder if everything really does happen for a reason huh?

btw...you look pretty good for all your dog years 😉
