So you’re lucky enough to get yourself a girlfriend in college, congratulations. You were even elected a student leader of the supreme student council for three consecutive years. And for some unexplainable turn of events, you were pushed to be a year level representative for Mr. and Miss Intramural. Talk about one hell of a college ride! You smiled at the thought but as soon as you passed by the large mirror on your bedroom wall, everything faded.
That was you, was. Don’t be surprised when you change even after puberty, c’est la vie (that’s life).
You graduated, had your first job and found new friends. Every payday you go out and host a party where you drink all you can and eat all you want. Then you have the serious moments of your life when you just stay outside your company’s building and smoke at least three sticks for the half shift and just think about random stuff. What a life!
The good thing is you realized your lifestyle will not be a lifestyle soon. You now branded it the bachelor’s deathstyle. The bad thing is, you gained weight, you looked advanced in your supposedly early 20’s years and it’s your college reunion tomorrow. Oh, fudge me.
Just be honest, whoever wants to have reunions? Hate it. I hate family reunions and even friends and school reunions. It’s that moment in your life when you either boost yourself or slap your face with every person you meet. Here comes your aunts and cousins who would tell you, “You gained.” Apparently. What about your school reunion? It’s a parade of insecure group of yuppies who think narrating their successes one by one would make them the most famous of all, heck they even dreamed to be awarded as the outstanding after-college guy.
Inhale, exhale. Chill. I can do it. Let’s be positive bro. You have lived a good life and that is all that matters. Looking at the positive side of the situation, you got friends there. And hello? You have Facebook and they’ve been updated. What difference it is when they tell it in your face that you’re now a fat guy than reading it from the comment they had in every picture you posted? Come on.
So you grew, you learned. Every year that passed you gained not just the physical weight but also the weight of the lessons you acquired in life. These college buddies, I’m sure everyone has his or her own story to tell or a history to look back at or forget. However big your size is now, you still have people who love you through thick and thin, and thin again.
