What are the odds?
A half world away, lives most of the ~100 people with whom I graduated high school. Except one of them lives here. I met her, randomly, at the gym tonight. It was good to see someone from so far back in my past. So far back that when I think about that time I feel like it (I) was a different person living then. At the same time, she was not surprised at all to hear that I was studying medicine, or the course of life I have taken. It goes well with the feeling that I am being more true to who I am now than ever before. Having someone else recognize that after all this time and distance was really great.
