And a chance encounter with an old friend turned out to be just what I needed!
It all started when I went to my high school reunion and bumped into my old friend Jennifer.
Jennifer had always been the “nice girl” in our friend group…AKA the one who was a little on the plus side and awkward. Whenever we spent time together with a group of guys, she would be left with the nerdy one.
In fact, I was dreading the thought of seeing Jennifer again. I felt bad for how we had treated her back then.
So, while I was at the punch bowl, I noticed this woman across from me light up and say, “Oh my goodness! Renee! It has been so long!”
For the life of me, I could not recognize who it was. So, I just smiled awkwardly and said, “Uh…hi…”
Then she said, “It is me! Jennifer!”
And that is when my jaw dropped…because this woman looked NOTHING like Jennifer!
Not only did she look quite a bit younger than everyone else at the reunion…
…she had on this slim, flattering dress and had the most stunning smile. She seriously looked like a model from a magazine cover!
But the longer I looked, the more I could see Jennifer. I remembered.
“Jennifer…WOW! You look so incredible! I was just thinking about you…and…”
Suddenly, I started to tear up. It was just so strange to see how our roles had reversed. Here I was struggling to find love again and suddenly Jennifer was the beautiful one.
As if she read my mind, she pulled me aside and said, “Listen, I am sure you are curious about how I did it. Let me show you…”
Then she took me outside and showed a video on her phone that explained everything!
Because it turns out…
