I recently signed up on Facebook. yeah.. I know.. for someone who claims to be all into the internet and what not, I'm a bit behind the times on this one. I'm on Myspace, but I never had the time or the inclination to be up there. So I was kind of avoiding Facebook thinking that it was all the same. But I was wrong.
I LOVE logging onto Facebook. I've found so many old friends and current friends. All the memories have been flooding back. I even found all my old HS yearbooks and my sorority photos from way back. Gosh, how young we all were! And to be honest... it's easier to manage on Facebook.
Although I don't usually recall my HS days fondly, I do remember many good times with some incredibly good friends. I'm looking forward to repairing some friendships that may have been so foolishly mangled while being young and stupid. Also, there were people that I never really got to know or who, at the time and for whatever reasons - (not the right crowd, didn't play a sport, etc.) - didn't get to know me. I'm hoping that perhaps, after almost 20 years, we can find some commonalities now that might warrant a new friendship.
While it's very exciting, it is still very scary -- what do these people remember about me? Was I a complete A$$hole to some people? I'm pretty sure I was to some people. And I hope they don't hold it against me after so many years. I admit.. I still cringe when I think about how some people treated me years ago.
But those moments shaped me and influenced my decisions - even today.
Moving forward feels really good.
