James's Story
I think it's time to update this...
I have recently started to think about life a little differently and think about some of the choices I made through school and how they have effected my life.
I made a lot of choices, and had some choices forced upon me, that almost took me down a dark, dark road.
As some of you may know, I grew up very poor. I spent most of my childhood in a trailer and went to school every day looking at most of you with envy. Of course I never realized, as most of us probably didn't, that you all had your problems too. From my point of view, almost all of you had much better lives than me. My parents did a great job of providing what we needed, but the fact is that I never had the popular shirts, shoes, or jeans until they weren't popular any longer.
Mostly because of this I withdrew into myself; made myself a loner. I tried to convince myself that I didn't have many friends because I chose not to, not because I just plain couldn't; that I wore outdated clothes because I wanted to be different, not because that's all I had. The irony of this is, of course, that I never let any of you really know me and I didn't even know that any of you wou...Expand for more
ld even really care to know me and therefore I pissed away any chance I had at a lot of friendships. I can thank Grant Sparks for giving me this little revelation at the 10 year reunion.
The point to all of this is that I want a second chance. I know second chances don't come easily, but I have to try to find out what I might be missing all because of my ignorance in high school. There's no telling what I might have in common with any one of you. I found out at the reunion that Grant and I both spent summers working in the oil field. Who knows? If I had opened up back then, Grant and I might have actually been friends.
I'm no longer the fat recluse in the oversized black trench coat (if anyone has a picture of me in that, btw, I'd like it for my then picture). I'm now even fatter but perfect comfortable with it, very outspoken and outgoing, and way too nice for my own good most of the time. I do still have a trench coat, but it's tan, it actually fits me, and I only wear it if it's raining.
So there's my story, or all I care to type of it at the moment. Now the ball's in your court. Hit me up. Let's talk. Let's see if we might actually like one another, eh?
