odd man out

So being recently back near to my home town after being gone for just over 8 years of living other places, I find it is very strange running into people who last knew me as a 16 year old. Randomly running into a old high school friend and her mom where I was bid farewell with a "see you later, Bridget." I feel so weird being back, not with my family or Rese who I have stayed in touch with and so have seen me become an adult and also don't confuse me with my high school friend Bridget (well we both have big boobs, but I think the comparisons end there). I am so different than 16 year old me. I also recently had a lunch with a friend that I had not seen in 10 or so years wondering do I have anything in common with this person anymore, possibly I have more in common with her than ever but I still find it somewhat depressing here. Still no job, and with nothing really to pour my energy into, I find myself missing my home in California...it was the first place I had felt at home since leaving colorado all those years ago.
