I was watching This is life +10 last night on television. I had seen part of it last year when it aired in the UK, but seeing the whole thing this time really made me realise that things change A LOT in 10 years. Back in 1997 I was more or less living the same life as Egg, Anna, Milly et al and now 10 years later I'm doing it again. Anna's life it is. She's so much like me it's scary. So I never made it to law school, but I dreamt about it at least...
What also got me thinking was my own reunion in a couple of weeks with the people I worked and partied with for almost seven years. I guess one could say that we grew up together. All young, with maybe girlfriend/boyfriend but not family yet, working with cutting edge technical solutions in the media and television world. We worked, partied, laughed and cried together just like a family. When the company we worked for decided to downsize and most of us were made redundant we promised to stay in touch, but...
An era or phase of our lives was over I guess. Just like in This is life. And then we meet again and try to create what we had back then, which is impossible. That's what scares me with this reunion. But it's going to be fun seeing them all again. I know I have changed these last fours years, so I'm pretty sure they have too.
