Posted on November 06 2016
It was my 20 year high school reunion last night. 20 years. How the hell did that happen?
It seriously feels like yesterday that I finished school. I actually loved school. I had some amazing friends that I still see to this day.
We have had a few reunions over the years, 10 years, 15 years, and a couple of mini ones in between. Each one has been great, but one thing was glaringly obvious, numbers were not great.
I'm not sure how many we had in our year, maybe 100, 120. Our first reunion was the biggest. Good numbers. A few teachers. It was great.
Numbers have seriously dwindled since then.
I get that everyone is busy. Everyone has stuff going on. This time of year is often jam packed with parties, sporting events and concerts. People are committed and while a reunion is fun, it's often not a priority of our precious time.
There are other reasons too, why a reunion can suffer.
Not everyone has fond memories of those days. To some, high school was torture. A hellish, brutal time in their lives, that evokes terrible memories of bullying, loneliness and fear.
I witnessed these acts. I stood by when people were bullied, laughed at, and mercilessly teased. As much as I'm confident that I wasn't the perpetrator of these crimes - yes, I'm calling them crimes, I was certainly no innocent bystander. I never once stood up for these kids. I never said 'hey - leave her/him alone'. I probably even smirked, or giggled. I followed the crowd, not realising the long lasting effects of our actions.
I'm sure the thought of walking into a room full of people that you totally f*cking hate, and that owe you 20 years worth of anxiety, depression and psychiatric fees, is quite horrific.
Having said that - not everyone has harboured those feelings. Some of those who did have a pretty shitty time at school, have managed to move past it and mentally compartmentalise high school into a special area, generally reserved for things like eating offal, Brussel sprouts and stirrup pants.
Maybe you have no interest in revisiting the past? School is over, you are moving forward. What's done is done and you don't feel the need to look back. That's cool too.
This years numbers were low. It was not a lack of trying or organisation. It was really well done, a lot of people just didn't come.
And I'm going to tell you why. At least this is what I think...
FACEBOOK KILLED THE REUNION
Facebook killed the curiosity.
If we are curious as to what a certain person is up to, we look them up on Facey. Maybe add them as a friend. Even maybe perfunctorily engage with them on the odd occasion.
We can see what people look like from the comfort of our homes. Let's face it, half of the lure of the reunion is to see what people look like. How they've changed. If the school hottie is still a hottie. If the person voted most likely to succeed, has in fact succeeded.
You can sit back and cackle at the fact that the hot popular bitch that made your life hell is now a frumpy lonely cow - without never having to set foot in the same room as them.
We already know if our old school mates are married, divorced, have had babies. We know where they live, and what they had for breakfast.
We have lost the delicious anticipation of wondering if we will recognise our old classmates. If they will recognise us.
It can make for quite stilted conversations.
"So, Bob, what have you been up to?"
"Oh I'm an electrician, married, couple of kids".
"Oh yes, I did see that on Facebook"
**crickets**
Of course these glimpses into people's lives aren't always the full story. As my friend Briony said to me the other day, it is purely a highlights reel. Most people just share the good stuff. We see their exciting lives, maybe feel a little jealous and inadequate and decide to never talk to them more than you have to as you have nothing in common.
Last night I spoke to people who I wasn't FB friends with. It was so refreshing! I learnt things about people that I have known for 26 years. There were no preconceived notions about what they had been up to, because I didn't know. I had to ask, delve, and respond. It was awesome. It made me realise that I wasted a whole lot of years not talking to kids who were actually really decent people.
I know that not everyone will agree with me. That's fine! This is, like I said, just my opinion. Not everyone is on Facebook and even if they are, they may not be active users.
I just still can't help but feel that as useful as Facebook was for organising the reunion, it was equally as damaging. It wasn't a flop. It was fantastic. It was just disappointing that there weren't more people.
My advice to you, if you have a reunion coming up - GO. Talk. Even if you think you know everything about someone from Facebook, ask more questions. Get to know them again. They are different now. Don't just stick to your 'group'. Don't strut in with your posse and ignore those that weren't your friends. Reintroduce yourself. Who knows. You might make some new ones.

This is for anyone seeking to recover their data or (BTC/ETH) funds lost to scammers on the internet. I sent out $132,000.00 worth of BTC to this broker named E29 Crypto Marketers. My experience was a good business proposal turned sour. l was added to a crypto learning and trading group on Telegram. I thought it was real, unfortunately, they are like other fraudsters found on the internet and online romance apps, I only knew about their fraudulent activities after losing my investment to E-29 marketers. l would have lost all my invested funds to this online scam scheme. with the quick help of these professionals in reclaiming stolen money. I found their reviews on Google, After my research about them, I concluded they were the perfect recovery expert to hire to recover my stolen cryptos. I never regret coming in contact with TECH CRYPTO RECOVERY team. Within the short period I spent conversing with them during the recovery process, I learned a lot more than the four walls of a school. They can be reached via their Email (techcryptorecovery@yahoo.com )
I’ve always taken pride in being an American. Values like hard work, perseverance, and resilience are at the core of who I am. I’ve spent years building my savings through careful investments, and my family counts on me to secure our future. So when I realized that I had accidentally locked myself out of my Bitcoin wallet, which contained nearly $700,000, it felt like my entire world had come crashing down. For someone who values independence and self-reliance, this was the most helpless I’d ever felt. I had always managed to solve problems on my own, but this time, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fix it.
I was devastated. I couldn’t believe that all those years of hard work, sweat, and sacrifice were locked away, possibly lost forever. I tried every trick in the book reinstalling wallet software, searching for lost backup files, and reading endless forums. But nothing worked. I was at the point of accepting defeat, but deep down, I refused to believe it was over.
One evening, while browsing through a Facebook group dedicated to cryptocurrency, I stumbled upon a discussion about recovery services. People were sharing their experiences, and one name kept coming up: DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. The group members had nothing but praise for them. Initially, I was skeptical, as there are so many scammers in the crypto space. But seeing the positive feedback gave me hope, and being a man of action, I decided to reach out.
From the moment I contacted them, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES was nothing short of professional. They didn’t make any unrealistic promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. Instead, they calmly explained the recovery process and assured me that they would do everything in their power to help. Their communication was clear, and they were transparent every step of the way.
To my relief, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES proved to be everything I had hoped for. In just a few days, they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin. I could hardly believe it when I saw my funds restored. It was like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
What impressed me even more was that they took the time to educate me on securing my wallet better, so I wouldn’t face this problem again. Their integrity and dedication reminded me of the core values I hold dear. If you’re in trouble, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES is the team you can trust. They truly represent the professionalism and resilience that make this country great. CONTACT! DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES For assistance with the details below,

I can’t even begin to express the relief I feel right now. If you’ve ever felt the sinking sensation of thinking you’ve lost a fortune, then you’ll understand what I’ve been through these last few weeks. I had a cold wallet containing $350,000 worth of Bitcoin, and for some reason, I just couldn’t access it anymore. It felt like my entire world was crashing down on me. Years of savings and careful investments were in that wallet, and I thought I had lost it all. I tried everything on my own to recover it. I searched forums, watched countless tutorials, and tried every possible solution I could find online. Nothing worked. Honestly, I was devastated. I couldn’t bear the thought of telling my family that I had lost nearly half a million dollars. But then, I stumbled upon Trust Geeks Hack Expert. At first, I was skeptical. You hear horror stories about scams in the cryptocurrency space, and I was hesitant to trust anyone with something as sensitive as my Bitcoin wallet.

From the very beginning, Trust Geeks Hack Expert was incredibly professional and reassuring. They walked me through their process, answering all of my questions and calming my fears.

They did what I thought was impossible. Trust Geeks Hack Expert didn’t just recover my Bitcoin; they restored my peace of mind. If you’re in a situation like I was, do not hesitate.
