The Reunion Questionnaire

2018 marks 20 years since I graduated from high school. I know, it's hard to believe. Because there's no way I'm old enough to have graduated high school 20 years ago. And yet...

Question of the Week #135

Which would you prefer: a wild, turbulent life filled with joy, sorrow, passion, and adventure--intoxicating successes and stunning setbacks; or a happy, secure, predictable life surrounded by friends and family without such wide swings of fortune and mood?
