I Have Random Thoughts

As Prom Season approaches, it reminds me of how I was never asked to my Prom. I was the shy duckling in high school, with low self-esteem, who later transformed into a swan. I sometimes regret that I didn't go anyway. I've even had a "Pretty Woman" moment, where I thought it would be fun to buy a beautiful ball gown, and go out for an extravagant evening, and enjoy my own modern-day "prom night" with DH. Has anyone else felt this way? ✨👠

I think one can sort-of make up for a missed prom experience by showing up at the next class reunion. Having an old classmate ask if you were in their class, or comment about not remembering you could be an empowerment opportunity with a little creativity.
