Maybe it was because I didn't value any relationship I made during highschool then. I assumed that I would likely lose contact with nearly all of those people, and I was correct.

I can count on one hand the people I still talk to from those days, and they are the only ones that went on to accomplish anything. They decided to keep in touch.

None of the others matter to me. The only thing I was focused on was getting the hell out of highschool and college and being left alone to do my own thing.

I find it hard to believe I'm the only one that was capable of taking this approach.

I'm 28 if this matters at all.
