I miss my friends. I miss the friends that I haven't seen since high school. I miss the friends that I haven't seen in a few months. I miss the friends that I haven't seen in a few weeks. I just miss my friends.
Since I have been home with vertigo, I haven't seen some of my daily work friends and I haven't seen some of my weekly dance friends. I have been alone in my house for most of the day. Being by myself most of the time has given me some time to keep in touch via the internet with some friends that I haven't seen or heard from in years.
Through the magic of Facebook and MySpace I have reconnected with some that I've lost track of 10 years ago. It's interesting to learn what people are doing, where people are located and what all has happened since college and high school. I enjoy learning about how the teenage high schoolers have turned into smart, interesting and lovely adults.
Everyone is so successful. Most are married. Some have children and all have great jobs. Everyone is living out on their own (and not with their mothers like I do sadly) and everyone seems so happy. I don't have much. I am a single girl with no children and my job isn't that great. I sometimes feel like I haven't grown as much as my friends and that sometimes leaves me with nothing to add to conversations. I often feel left out.
So I try to find common ground. Usually, its being single. I have a few friends that are single like me. I have one friend in particular that talking about single life is exactly how we reconnected. After all the single advice and conversations about dating, now we talk about anything....politics, dancing, work, life in general. It really makes me wish that we were better friends in high school and that we kept in touch over the years. I know that we were all different in high school and maybe that is why we weren't close back then. You know what it doesn't matter. What matters is that we are friends now. I look forward to my daily emails and enjoy talking to him.
What I wonder about all my reconnected friends is how long it will last. Are people just being friendly? Who knows. I guess I should just be happy and live for now. I'm glad that I've reconnected. Now I'm gonna go check if my inbox has new messages.

Heh, me too :-P But I kinda fell of the face of the earth for a long time, and I honestly have a hard time maintaining friendships. Probably because I'm more of a listener...
I guess it's good to no longer wait for things to come, to take control of your life... although I know I'm still hoping something good comes along. But we just roll with the crap that comes along, pick ourselves up, try something new, fall down again, and keep trying.
I think I was trying for something more meaningful, but got sidetracked... Oh well.
Dan, I'm glad that you are a listener cause I am somewhat of a talker LOL.
I think that life is all about the sidetracks---sometimes it leads you to something amazing. And you learn a lot about yourself when you pick up after a hard fall.
You'll find something that was even more meaningful than before and then it will all make sense. Everything happens for a reason.
