I'm only 4 years out of high school and already...

I was visiting my former high school's website, and it seems 75% of the teachers I had just 4 years ago are now gone.
I see all these new faces. Almost like it's a completely different school.
Also visiting MySpace and looking up some old acquaintances from HS, it seems like most of them are different people. You know, "grow ups" (well not quite, but almost "grown up").
I like to think that I have not changed much at all since HS. But so many others have.
It seems as though the people I once knew and loved are now gone. Replaced by new and different people with the same names.
Not everyone is different, I'm glad to see some of those I liked the most have not changed a bit, but most have changed.
What's a 10 year reunion like? 20 year? Wow, I can't begin to imagine. Can you really consider it a "reunion" if everyone's former spirit and personalities have been replaced or worn down by the stress of adulthood? More like a "gathering of strangers who somehow know each others names."
Kind of sad. In my mind, a lot of those people I knew are now "gone."
Adulthood seems to ruin people.
