Do you have friends whom you haven't seen in the longest time? Like five years? Or a decade? Or 15 years? I bet you do, and when you start to get in touch with them, I am sure it won't be the same way again. At least for me-- as it is how I felt.
Well, there are a lot of factors that come along with the change of feelings and attitudes. And being distanced from each other for such a long time, it won't be that easy to relive that times in the past. It happened to me just very recently. And thanks to Friendster for the reconnection. But as I've said, things turned out so very different now. See, I've just re-encountered a friend's profile at Friendster, a former schoolmate and classmate during elementary years back in the province called Bukidnon in Philippines. We used to be friends so close, sharing common things [like assignments and test answers, hehe], and visiting each other's homes spending some time playing each other's toys. Those were the good old days. And there were a lot more to reminisce. But for sure, gone are those kinds of days.
She's still in Philippines, still pretty and smart, staying single and free, taking up Law School at EP Elbi. know she has accomplised a lot, and she will be accomplishing some more in the future and I am wishing her the best of luck in that. We still keep in touch every once in a while, but she now has a set of new friends and I do, too. But I think she changed something: she won't dare mention the times, our times in the past and how we laugh out so loud and hard with the silly and goofy things we've done. I still will, and even if that place there has left my heart wounded during my family's stay, I still can tell the world that I used to be a resident of that place.
Well, things change and so do people. I changed and she did. It is true, getting in touch with an old friend excites me the moment I discovered her, but the excitement soon drifted away when the moments of uneasiness during the conversation takes place.
How does it feel for you?
