Fell down a little rabbit hole tonight looking into some of the people I graduated with. As far as I can tell no one's won the lottery or gamed the system enough to become "successful" so I'm glad I'm (hexbear.net)

not the only "loser". And I went to a good public school too but it feels like everyone my age just kind of crashed out. Can't say I blame them given [gestures] everything. My old high school crush has an etsy store and makes cute little knickknacks which is nice.

I'm in the opposite situation. I've looked up all the kids I went to school now and they are all really successful. A doctor, a pharmacist, a journalist, some head buyer type thing for Marks and Spencers, a business director for a "HealthTech" industry, whatever that is, two of them have high up banking jobs.

Then there's me, worked as a minimum wage carer for years, now unemployed on benefits. I would never dream of going to a school reunion.
