You know I think it's pretty interesting how easy it is to lose contact with people you've known for years. Whether it was a really good friend or someone you saw on a regular basis and enjoyed chillin out with. A lot can happen in a year; this is true. A person will completely revamp their entire life without a second's hesitation unwittingly letting go of connections that were once strong and meaningful. I mean it's really interesting to look back and read about how people regret not seeing someone or not hanging out with someone because they lost touch. What's more interesting is to be the person someone wishes they stayed in contact with. Contrary to the position it's a little eye-opening if not revealing to find out that someone hasn't thought of you at all in a year. But that's the way life goes isn't it. There's no such thing as friends forever, because eventually that person is reduced to a phone number and a name you can't match to a face. Everyone promises they'll see each other, "hang-out", when they part ways. It's an inevitable human response to separation. But what comes along with the promise is the inevitable disappointment both people feel 6 months later. I'm no exception to this happenstance. I just find it interesting.
I went back and read the most recent posts of all my old Livejournal friends and i just thought it was interesting how some people change in the way you knew college would change them, some people don't change at all, and others surprise you. It was just by chance that I even decided to log on to Live journal because I was curious.
