I went to my 10 and will be going to my 20 in October.
At 10, not many people were married, most still working on their careers. Many of the "spoiled by parents" people didn't attend I believe mostly because they didn't have all much accomplishments compared to others.
I look forward to going for my 20th.
I look forward to them because it is a demarcation point in life where one can easily see where we've come from, not to compare against someone else, but to compare against myself at that time.
We had filled out these forms of things we liked back in 1986, my favorite actor: Tom Cruise, favorite movie: Risky Business, because sometimes in life you gotta say, "What the fuck."
When I went 10 years ago I was with a different girl that I thought maybe we'd get married, since we got along really well and had really good times together. Obviously, that did not happen.
When I left, I was content with my place and how far I came along in some things, disappointed that I didn't go further in others, and jealous that others were living differently than I was. But that's me and my experience and obsession. Ultimately, I'm where I'm supposed to be, but I'm grateful to have the ability to look back objectively and realize just how far I've made it from the awkward high school days.
My best friend will not be going. He's not interested, but hopefully I will stay at his place that weekend.
You have to ask yourself... "Is looking back at the past worth $450?"
