I Won't Tell Them Your Name

So I was at a bar tonight. A hometown bar and randomly...some dude comes up to me and says...so what year did you graduate from _______ High School? I was shocked...I looked down to see if I was wearing anything that would have given me away. I saw nothing. I just pissed me off. That was over 10 years ago...apparently we or maybe just I am living in a world where high school mattered? Its sad to me how I wasnt prepared going into the "real world" how much I would still encounter high school. And how it still finds you no matter how far away you go or how much you try to seperate yourself from it. Life is just a longer version of high school I realized. Tonight is not the first night...but tonight is just the first night I decided to vocalize my feelings about it. I am sick of walking into places and situations where people think I must be that same girl from back then. Hello people!!! I have grown and matured into a woman. A woman with much different ideas about people and things that I had in high school. I find it very unfair to still, at my age, to be judged with high school eyes. Is it me or is it them? Have I grown and they havent or the other way around? Of course I think I have grown and they havent....that's why they are the ones to bring it up. I feel stuck in a time capsule in this town. I really need to catch the next train out. Hope this doesnt sound too cliche...but I have outgrown this town.
