I've just been friended (there's a new fangled word) on Facebook by people I was a mad 20 something year old with. I feel as though they're from a whole other life. Certainly it was a whole other phase in my life.
Of course I accepted them as friends, and I look forward to finding out about their lives.
Yet there's part of me that wonders if I want to. It feels a little like a backward step. It's a part of my life that I left behind.
Maybe I'm afraid they'll reject me. They're pretty cool characters and ah, my life choices are different to theirs, and I'm a loooooong way from cool. I'm very comfortable with my uncoolness, yet it's funny that I'm suddenly conscious of it with these blasts from my past.
I don't really know why this worries my at all, in all likelihood we'll do our polite catching up then ignore each, so nothing will have changed.

I've been friended by people from high school -- and NOT friended by people I thought were my friends in high school. Some of the names are just that, names on my list that I can delete without pause. Others, though, have become real cyberfriends -- even better friends than we ever were as teenagers.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand -- angst is my middle name, after all! But you may be surprised.
Love you madly!
