The girl met a boy long ago and never mentioned her feelings for him. He was the “it” guy in high school, and she never felt she measured up. Years later, thanks to the Internet, she reaches out to him through a high-school connection website. They end up talking after her nasty divorce that had left her mentally paralyzed.
Our closest friends become a part of who we become. This is why surrounding ourselves with people of good character and happy hearts is so important. The last thing we need to do is grow old and bitter because we’ve submersed ourselves in a sea of negativity for so long, or we’ve spent our time with people who, at their core, can’t see the joy or promise in a single thing, the people who are pre-wired to hate and judge life instead of tackling problems and moving on to more positive things.
