Goddammit, fine. I will go to the next reunion, and I will bring chicken for the lads, for old time’s sake.

Not seeing the issue here. Sounds pretty wholesome to me actually! A bunch of boys hanging out. Unknowing to the horrors that adulthood brings. Soon high school will end. Soon college will start. Some of your friends will drift away. Some you won’t even notice until you realize one day it’s been a while since you hung out with that one guy. The one you’re not best friends with, but sometimes he’d be around. Except he hasn’t been around for months, and you’re just now noticing. Other friends you notice right away are gone. They get accepted into a college on the other side of the country. You claim you’ll keep in touch, but lets be real. You’re both going to be super busy with college. You’ll drift away from one of your best friends over the next few years. It’s neither of your faults really. That’s just how life is. You spent your whole life with this guy since you were 5 years old, and now as you transition into adulthood you become strangers. Then one day you wake up, and realize you haven’t seen any of those friends in 20 years. All you do is work six days a week, and run errands on the 7th so you have enough supplies to handle the upcoming week. Now even the burnt out face in the mirror looks like a stranger.
But at least they’ll have the wholesome memories of being in a costco as teens and eating chicken together. Before it all fell apart.

And maybe some pot? Remember when we were kids, and smoking in the ally, and saying how weed will never be legal in our lifetimes? Welp. It’s legal. In our lifetimes.
Hey, wanna play this disc of MP3s I burned onto a CD? It’s got Oasis, and Sublime in there somewhere.

I can have trouble assessing tone sometimes so I might be way off, but the OOP seemed more amused than upset to me, maybe?

Yeah the post was clearly a “lol teenage boys do crazy stuff sometimes”
Which is fair, and correct.

You’re absolutely right, but I am already absolutely in awe of them actually eating chicken and not just staring at their phones without interacting. At least that’s my assumption because trying to devour a rotisserie chicken with one hand while holding your phone in the other seems like a challenge.

this hurt to read. i hate how well it captures that feeling. why the hell is adulthood like this? we grind people into paste and don’t even realise how much we have lost of what they could have been. sigh.
