After a couple of years of thought, I've decided that I will not break precedent and show up at $SIGNIFICANT_ANNIVERSARY_HIGH_SCHOOL_REUNION. My attitude toward most of those people was that we were inmates at the same penal institution and any association was because we were caged in together, not because we really had any common interests.

It was a difficult decision, mostly because there are a few people that I'd genuinely be willing to give a shot at reconnecting with*, all of whom were friends outside of school.

* Currently, the people from high school whom I talk with occasionally are all friends of one of my siblings.
