Just thought I'd share that.

In one way, it feels a very long time ago, because of all the changes that happened in my life since then.

But in another way, it doesn't seem that long ago.

I graduated 15 years ago. I know what you mean about it feeling like a long time in some ways but not others. In some ways I haven't made a lot of changes in my life. I only worked for 38 months, did not go to college, & me & my girlfriend don't have any kids & are living in an apartment. I'm NOT the same person I was when I graduated high-school. i fell into a bad psychotic depression that took me 5 years to get over. I spent a lot of time self-analyzing.

Congrats on making it 10 years! :D

These sorts of milestones are usually kind of bittersweet for me.. in the past, when I was depressed, quite a bit more bitter.. but now, I suppose a lot more sweet. But yeah, I usually tend to have opposing thoughts about these things.. like "10 years?? What have I accomplished since then!?!?!" along with "10 years.. when I think about it & focus on my achievements for shortfalls, holy wow have I ever accomplished a lot in that time!"
