With the surge of online communities like Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Multiply, etc., it has gotten so much easier to find [long] lost friends. I love reconnecting with people I knew from way back when. If you asked my friends, they would probably say that I am one of THE most sentimental people they know. And I would agree. I love reminiscing about the past--especially all the funny, crazy, fun, extraordinary experiences we shared (we don't talk about the big boo-boos as much...hahaha). Total laugh trip!
Another thing I love about it, is that I get to see what/who they have become after all these years. Some of them were my little brothers and little sisters in Brent and I see their pics and I can't help but think...dengit! I'm old! hahahaha. But I love seeing or reading about how their lives turned out, where they've been, how they've changed [or not]. I get so excited seeing them pursue dreams we only used to talk about, or wish about...or when they end up doing things they said they would never do. We are no longer the same bright-eyed, naive, idealistic kids we once were...but somehow, when we catch up on things now, we find that some things--those that are important, the reasons why we are friends in the first place--have not changed.
This leads me to my most recent find. If you are looking for some interesting and well written materials, visit Lance's blog. He was one of "my kids" and even then, he was always articulate, prolific, and profound--at age 14 or so. Though I love how his writing has matured, I still see the Lance that I remember. Drop by when you've got time.
Amazing how the more things change, the more they stay the same.
