leave the past in the past?
Posted 11-12-2007 at 08:26 AM by ill-matic
the wonders of technology huh? things like Facebook and MySpace giving you the power to rehash the friends of the past - the people who essentially disappeared from your life...
one night i impulsively typed up a few names from primary school (elementary for the US), which was so many years ago that it feels like a lifetime. young, fresh faced and just high on life, i made a number of friends, fell victim to the taunts of bullies, and the usual happenings of primary school life. Ive always remembered a select few of those people for good and bad reasons, and my curiosity got the better of me so i looked them up..
..and there they were..all mature, grown up - some with attempted rock star facial hair, quirky fashion styles, taller, bigger, sharper facial features. the girls became women, and those women became massive tits. but looking at their evolved faces and poking through their profiles overwhelmed me with this feeling of nostalgia. for a brief moment i was that kid again, back in primary school, being stupid and just having fun...not giving a shit about anything whatsoever. playing handball..."boys catch girls"...bullrush...hide and seek... All these activities shared with these people all those years ago. Such fucking great times...
But, naturally i brought myself back to reality. What's in the past, is in the past. Or is it? With just a mere click of a button, i can connect myself again with these people. But would that enable us to rehash those memorable moments? Could we pick up from where we all left off? It got me thinking...would they even fucking remember who i am in the first place?
My gut is telling me to not bother. It's kind of like the whole "beating the dead horse" phrase, where you're virtually trying to resuscitate something that is just obviously dead and gone, so theres no point.
I think i'll just leave that chapter of my life closed, as it has been for years..

I know what you mean. I added a bunch of people from high school on Facebook. We never talked, so I deleted 'em.

I've encountered several middle school friends in college. I've come to the conclusion that just because they were my good friends then, it doesn't mean the friendship can be renewed. People change quite a bit. I think it's cool to catch up with people from the younger days and I'd recommend you add/message them.

i have a bunch of hs friends on facebook too. i graduated from hs 2 years ago but it feels like forever. i dont even talk to a third of these people anymore. i'm seeing 4 of them this weekend for my last hs friend's bon voyag party.
past is past. we gotta live the present and look forward to the future. i do wanna catch up with a bunch of people. but everytime i hear news from them, i get deceived. like this friend with whom i hung out til last summer. i heard all she does now is drink, smoke weed, and snort cocaine. thats all her life is about. plus she turned out to be a slut. so yeah i feel i'm like years apart from them. some of my hs friends are doing such great things while others are turning out ot be fucking pathetic. |

what i found nice though, was to find elementary friends on facebook. it was awesome to hear how they are doing and everything. might plan a elementary reunion of my promotion sometime in 2008. could be nice.
