Tonight I watched "Jane Austen Book Club." I probably shouldn't watch romantic movies at this point in my life.... but that is a whole other thing. But in one of the scenes, Prudie said: "You never get over high school."
I had a great high school experience, but it is true that all those "high school" feeling come overwhelmingly back at times of heightened emotion. Even the good emotions. I mean, we all identify with the song era of our high school years. Who doesn't turn up the radio and sing at the top of her voice when a popular song from the high school years comes on the radio? And who doesn't feel all those overwhelming insecurities come back when in a situation that leaves her feeling less than adequate? They usually are not new feelings of insecurity....but they are the same exact feelings and leave us feeling like teenagers again....
Anyway, something to muse on.....
