Think twice (about posting a comment)
Or emailing, or even calling…
This pertains to anyone who you haven’t seen or spoken to in a long time. I know this happens all the time. And I myself had, once upon a time, thought it wouldn’t be a ridiculous thing to try to get back in touch with those I hadn’t seen for a while. But that was when I’d just graduated from college, and high school still even seemed like it had just happened.
But now, for me, times have changed. I couldn’t wait to get away from High School, and all those people (who I didn’t like or for whatever reason didn’t like me), the town, and bad experiences I had there. It was a long twelve years growing up and seeing the same people every day. Now that I have moved on with my life to graduate school, I’ve made the same transition away from old, bad memories from college and New England.
Unfortunately things have a way of popping themselves back into your life. Memories are one thing, but when your ex starts IMing one of your friends out of nowhere, you wonder what the heck it is that actually propels people to do stuff like that. Is it because they’ve got a totally screwed up life, and now they’re wondering what it would be like if a certain someone was back in it? That if somehow, someway, you could possibly regain what you had everything would go back to being peachy keen? Have you people seen “High Fidelity?” Um, yeah, think about it…you broke up with ME….or something along those lines…
Just think about it people, that’s all I’m saying. Right now, I am in graduate school in California. I’m with a man who makes me happy in every way - more than I could have ever dreamed. For most of you reading this blog, you know I want to keep in touch with you because I told you I was writing in it. For those of you who have FOUND my blog, think about the reasons I haven’t been in touch with you in forever. Think long and hard about why I might want to be in touch with you again (and really, if I would!!!). I think you know who you are.
