Growing up I became acquainted with a variety of people. Being from a small town, there were quite a few genuine people. I've also encountered my share of not so genuine people. As we all know high school is full of rumors and whatnot but I felt like I was always a main target for this kind of petty bullshit (pardon my french). Looking back on everything, I'm okay with whatever was said just for the sheer fact that I know what these people have to look forward to. Whoever reads this will know if they are part of this category or not. I've heard this type called townees so this is the term I will use.
I will always be able to smile because when its all said and done, you will be the 28 year old who never got out of Lycoming County. You will probably work at the local Hughesville diner and when its time to get off work on a Friday night, you'll meet all of your townee friends at the Hughesville football game where conversations will revolve around how you were all the shit back in high school. Thats how everything will go. Life will be nothing more than an extension of high school.
A couple of rumors doesn't seem so bad in the grand scheme of things.
