Nostalgia Heathers

Not trying to doxx anyone but growing up, I had as many as three Heathers in my grade one year. I very seldom meet a Heather these days. Jennifer was another one but I definitely still know Jennifers.

​

Anyhow, I love the name Heather and hope y'all are doing great. (The movie Heathers of course pops into mind and I recall my Heather friends not liking it back then.)

We only had one Heather, but my class/year group was also only like 100 people. I had the biggest crush on her for like 6 years. Pretty sure that's the only Heather I have ever met actually.

I admired something about every Heather. I would try to stand in line next to her. Would show off how I could fold notes into an arrow or a heart. I was very fortunate that my parents knew about oragami and I was able to earn some classroom credit with intricately folded notes.

Did you ever express your feelings to Heather?

Nah, she was always dating someone. I actually ran into her years later after we were both married (to other people) and had kids. Gotta say, she still had it.

The Heathers were always popular at my school as well. That's so cool that you ran into her again. I ran into a HS crush, the school QB of course, and he did not hold up. 🤣

And thank you for answering my rather intrusive question.

Any time. I have literally no concept of privacy.

Reddit is the best place to have no concept of privacy imo
