keep in touch
Okay I'm going to share a story with you because this is a story that parallels my current issues in life.. except this story has some differences. And hopefully the outcomes will be different as well. Hopefully.. I'll have learned from my mistakes, right? Anyway, on to the story.
As some of you may know, I spent two years of my life in a country called Venezuela. No, I am not Venezuelan.. I just lived there for 2 years. And these were two integral years to my life.. It was when I was 7 to 9 years old. And when you're that little, 2 years is like your whole life. Well, it was like half of my life that I remembered.. cause I couldn't remember much of my life before I was 5. So.. back then, Venezuela pretty much took up most of my life. Just like now, high school seems to have taken up all of my life... although probably later it won't seem like 4 years was that much.. anyway, back to Venezuela. Of course, living in a country for 2 years made me gain some friends there. They were American peoples, cause we went to this American school for all the people on business trips, like my dad. So, my brother and I met a couple of people, and we were practically best friends for those two years. I guess we didn't have much of a choice, since there weren't that many people in our classes.. but I remember we were pretty close to this one family (I won't mention names here). But when we went our separate paths.. they went to Indonesia for another business trip, we went back to California.... we were all sad, but we thought we'd keep in touch and everything. We saw them again like a year later.. but after that, we lost contact. Now I don't know what happened to them.. but I still wonder sometimes. I wonder how they did in middle school.. high school.. college.. What they like to do now.. what are their hobbies.. Would I even recognize them anymore.. do they remember me.. would they recognize me... And I realize that I've changed so much since then.. I always thought I didn't change much, and everyone else changed.. but as I was thinking about who I was back then, I realized I've changed a lot. I got glasses, I learned how to do the Rubik's cube.. I learned to play guitar, I got obsessed with lord of the rings... basically all of the things that my friends now associate me with I didn't do back then. But.. I'm still basically the same person, right? I still like playing games.. I still like sports, I still like having fun, I still like exploring.. I'm still Ambie. I don't know..
Anyway, I was wondering about them, and I tried to find them recently. But I don't know any of their contact info. So I googled their names, since all I know about them now is their names... and all these results came up, but they're not the right person. Too many people have similar names. But I think I found them at one place.. they did track and field in their high school. But.. no contact info there. (okay this sounds like I'm a creepy stalker person but I'm not, I promise) Meh.. I didn't have email back in Venezuela. This time, I have email, I have aim, I have a website.. maybe that will help me keep in touch with my friends. And we're not moving too far away. We'll still be back home during vacations and stuff. So it's not like we'll disappear from eachother's lives. That would be sad. I won't let it happen again.
