Ghost
There was a "CSI" about a homicide in a high school. The characters in the show talked about what they were in high school. Jock, brain, cheerleader, etc. Grissom answered he was a ghost. It was like a bam. Exactly. That is how I felt. I'm sure not that many would know who I was or even that I was there.
It has been proven a couple of times. I went to my ten year reunion and saw a guy who lived a block away from me, went to school with me from sixth grade on and rode my bus. When I said something to him at the reunion he had no clue as to who I was.
Then I had a dealing with a sheriff deputy almost ten years ago. This guy went to school with me from seventh grade on. He didn't remember me either. Now granted by this time we have aged quite a bit.
That is all kind of expected as I was a quiet kid.
But this last month I found out I am almost a ghost in my own life. I had a brief conversation with an old friend and he spouted off about not remembering something from back in the day. It was something of great importance to me and he can't even remember it. Then another old friend did more than that in not remembering me when we spent a lot of time together.
I understand that every one remembers what they remember and that we are not all going to remember the same things. I just find it a tad unsettling when I discover I am a ghost in my own life.
