School reunions are a scam — not because people are cruel, but because curiosity often disguises itself as nostalgia. Most don’t show up missing you; they show up measuring outcomes, quietly comparing who “made it” and who didn’t. It’s less about reconnecting and more about checking the scoreboard of life. And that’s fine. Life moves people in different directions, with different timelines and definitions of success. The real win isn’t proving anything to people from your past — it’s building a life that feels right to you. Progress doesn’t need witnesses. Stay focused, stay grounded, stay based.
