Not How I Rememberedโ€ฆ

Revisiting my old school had always been something I had wanted to do. Saying hi to my teachers, asking the kids how it is, things like that. It turned out to be very different.


As I walked to the school gates, I already noticed something was off. No children played in the playgrounds, and no teachers were insight. The place seemedโ€ฆabandoned. The swings creaked in the wind and the concrete was co...

Das schwarze Loch

Nach 30 Jahren, etlichen Umrundung der Stadt und reisen in die Welt, kam er wieder zu dem Ort zurรผck, an dem alles begann.


Jetzt wohnte er sogar direkt gegenรผber der alten Schule, an der er so gelitten hatte.


Es war nicht so, dass er gemobbt worden wรคre oder unbeliebt gewesen ist. Er war nur nicht da. Selbst wenn er in der Schule war, war er mit seinen Gedanken bestรคndig woanders.


Er sah gut au...

Empty

God, Iโ€™m so excited to return to my old school. I remember attending high school like it was yesterday: I was captain of the football team, dating the hottest girl in school and everyone either wanted to be me or be with me. It was such a dream. Obviously, Iโ€™ve fallen off a bit since thenโ€”Iโ€™m now a construction worker, but Iโ€™ll always cherish the days of school.


Yesterday, my high school girlfrie...

My Reunion

The invitation arrived on a Saturday morning, and I just stared at it as if my past was coming back to haunt me. I hesitatntly opened up the letter and asked my wife to read it to me. My greatest fear was realized when she read the following:


Dear Mike,

It is that time again. We request your presence at our 20th high school reunion. Meet your friends and share what you have accomplished and wher...

Visit

On a sunny day Rachel drove, and she saw her old school.

She suddenly stopped, and decided to visit. Rachel wanted to see how the school was doing.

She entered, and memories suddenly filled her head.

Rachel remembered her friends. Most of them, she had already lost contact with. She also remembered her teachers, and what it was like to be in class. Rachel remembered what she learned. She remembere...

Why Am I Here

I was not planning on being here. I did not have fond memories of this place. I didnโ€™t even want to be here. And yet, here I was, back at my old high school.

I walked by the stairs I had broken my foot on. That was not something I wanted to think about.

I didnt even look at the math classroom. That was also not something I wanted to relive.

Really, no matter where I went, I didnโ€™t want to be....

Friendship Power

As I walked through the familiar halls of my old high school, memories flooded my mind. It had been nine years since I transitioned from male to female, and returning to this place felt like stepping into a time capsule. The whispers and stares that once haunted me were now replaced with confidence and self-assurance. I had come a long way since then.


As I made my way to the cafeteria, I noticed ...
