days like today

I had a cool moment today. You know those people that you know, but you don't really know, maybe because you grew apart, or you're simply a totally different person from them, so it's not like your lives overlap all that much? I ran into one of those today, we'll call him AH. I was walking out the HS door to go to seminary, and he was coming in. He saw me, and held the door for me. As I walked by, I looked at him, and he had this huge smile on, which made me smile. He said, "How are you, Jennifer?" and honestly, I was like stunned, because he remembered my name, you know? So that was about it, you know, just one of those "moments" but it totally made my day. I felt like I was in an announcements commercial for the school, that's what it felt like. We haven't spoken for like two years, I bet, and we're nothing alike, but for the moment I realized we are exactly the same. High School is HARD. Nomatter who you are. On days like today, when life feels ugly, it's nice to know someone remembers your name.
