If you had the chance, would you reconnect with someone from your past? Someone you lost contact with, not because you both failed to keep in touch, but because your lives simply diverged. If you found him or her again, would you strike up a conversation and say, "It's been so long. Where did you go? How have you been?" I often wonder what it would be like if I became friends with old friends again. I tend to shy away from the past because it's the past and I'm living in the now. But I can't help but wonder, you know? With Facebook, old friends have found me and it's always pleasantly surprising that they remember me at all! Sometimes I'd like to think I had an impact on their life, no matter how small or large. Because, the truth is, all the people I've known in my life―in passing, as best friends, as friends of friends―they've collectively had an impact on me. Sometimes I think we're meant to meet the people we know, and I guess it sounds like I believe in fate and the intricacies of the powers that be, but it's kind of cool how that all happens, you know? And maybe I do believe in fate a little because a lot of coincidences have been happening lately and it makes me smile. No TrackBacksTrackBack URL: http://www.toastier.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/88 |

Hi, my name is Amy. Be well, and say hello!

I've believed in fate for a while now. I'm also finding that others are more reluctant about reuniting than I am. I'm all for it. But I guess that can get awkward.
I got back together with my high school boyfriend after three years of college. Not a huge gap, but still significant to me.
You should listen to the song "Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd" by Dave Matthews Band. It always makes me think of that stuff.
