dinner for old enemies

Class reunion and the chance to see some much-hated people.

How strange to find that they are capable of a polite chat, but even more bizarre to note that I myself can act with self-confidence, even charm. Many years have mellowed my eyes and monsters have turned into human beings. Not likely to become friends but that is mostly due to the fact that we have little to talk about, not aversion.

And I thank the heavens for forgiveness. That I was able to make that choice years ago. If not, I would not have felt the freedom of chatting amiably and knowing that nothing they did has ever held me back. That I, in fact, have soared in a sky they can only dream of.
