(no subject)
Recently I've been communicating with someone I knew back in Philly. We didn't part on the best of terms and for a long time I would have sworn that we would never be friends again. He's turned into a really great guy, married with two children. It makes me wonder about some of the other people I used to hang out with ALL the time.
There was a group of guys (and one other girl) that I used to play D&D with at least twice every week, club with at least once a week, we were in the same dojo and we used to knife fight all the time (with practice knives ... well except that once but that's an entirely different post). I haven't spoken to most of them for years, I miss them.
I've kept in touch with some of the people I'm not physically near anymore, but others just seemed to slip away. It's not that I don't care about them anymore, I suppose I got lazy.
I call my brother and mom every week, I write my nephew every week. I think I've learned a little bit about letting people I care about know I care about them. Then I think it's just the people physically further from me that I've actually done that for consistently. There are people here that I care about dearly, I hope they know who they are even if I do keep forgetting to bring their birthday gifts with me.
