You can't go back, is the saying ...

Wow I don't know. I understand what you say. It's been the same for me. I'm in my second year of college and after I graduated high school I saw two of my best friends in January during that whole month that we get off. And it was weird because it was a long time. And now she sometimes forgets to email me or call and say hi. But i guess that's how it's supposed to be everyone has to go their own way. Although at least she does remember me and it's not like she totally forgot about me, but there have been other friends of mine that haven't even emailed me and it's kind of weird 'cause I would really like to know what they are doing and how they are coping being all grown-up and stuff.

It does happens to me but very rare..!! There is one of my childhood friend who moved to some other place 2 years ago she always calls,as memeories always cause pain I tried to forget her actually not forget her I was kind of dependent on her very much used to be with her so I just wanted to be independent. But as we parted I almost moved ahead without paying any attention to our relation and now she calls up and reminds me of our old days....I felt so guilty about this but now I now you can always be in touch after all there is no such harm in it..!! And in friendship there is never late you can always GO BACK..!! We even sometimes creat our same old days whenever we meet so we can always GO BACK in TIME when we are with our friends..!! WE girls still get dressed up together paint each other nails do makeup of eachother and many more..its really fun..!! Now I'll never negelect her she just holds a great part of my past life ..!! together....these things really makes me sentimental!! :)

No you definitely cannot go back. You can relive, rejoice or repent depending on the situation and your memories, but you certainly can’t turn the clock back. And its very very difficult to reconnect if you have not been in touch for a long time. We go our own ways, have our own careers and goals, some of us are successful some not. We mature over the years and our childhood memories seem silly and unimportant. So its difficult just to meet your old buddy after a long long time and hit it right off! After the initial hi-s and hello-s, you seem at loss about what to say (at least this happens to me). And on top of that is the feeling that you maybe less successful than your friend. Something similar happened to me just the other day. At office we were expecting a client to come over for some presentation. Instead of the director, another senior member of his team turned up and she happened to be my class-mate. The entire office was on its toes to please her (as the client’s representative) and there she was, shaking me by the hand’ laughing and joking about our school days. Well I do hold an important position, but that in no way is as senior as hers and then she carried herself as per her position, while I dress most shabbily. So I was kind of vacillating between happiness and embarrassment when she said the worst possible thing…in front of everybody she exclaimed OMG Sudipta, you have become so old! It was not intentional, just an exclamation of surprise, but yes, it hurt and I wish I had never met her!

I think you can re-connect with old friends. You might not be as close as you once were but then again you might become close friends again. I had a best friend in elementary and the start of middle school. Then I switched schools and we kinda lost touch. We would write letters and stuff to each other but then we stopped that too. Well, here recently we caught up with each other again. We talk sometimes on the instant messenger. She doesn't live very far from me and we are going to get together with our husbands and kids too sometime soon. We aren't as close as we used to be but after we start hanging out again we might can be close again....who knows.

I have been in a similar situation and it did work with me sweety! I know it isn't easy but if you want ti to work there is a good chance that it will, if you are not keen there is maybe not much point in trying! You say you can't go back sweety and that is maybe true, but you can go forward and move reconnect to someone as the people that you are today, or at least that is my opinion! Nice to speak to you honey - sorry I have been so bad at communication - struggling a bit but will get there and as usual you make me feel better just by reading your post! xxx

"You can't go back" is not the issue... but, "You don't want go back" now that is an other thing... I believe that it is possible to re-connect to an old friend if that is what you want and if he want it to... but that varies from people to people:) good luck;)

actually thi stype opf situation has not happened to me. But if happens i will always hear to my heart. If I think i really want to attend, i'll. Otherwise i will tell her politely. May be I will try to meet her in some place else.

I think it really depends on whether the paths you have taken in your life have led to anywhere near the same place. I have friends that I feel I can never reconnect with, because they are still on paths that I will not walk again, and I know that to reconnect with them would be to do so. There are also people from my past that I choose not to reconnect with because there is simply no place in my life for them now. That sounds really harsh, but I think in the end sometimes I have to do what is best for myself and my loved ones I already have. I have this conflict over family members all the time, because I am always just a step away from completely cutting ties with them, but have yet to manage to do so. It's an awkward thing, because I haven't seen most of my family members in several years, and I am nothing like the same person they knew, while many of them remain the same.

A little over a year ago my best friend from grade school actually walked into my Mom's work place with her parents and my Mom almost fell through the floor. (This is a friend that moved away around grade five and now we are both 29!!!She got her address from her but then I lost it. We spoke on the phone once and then lost each other again...Now she has found me again on Face Book and I am so happy! I really do think that you can reunite an old friendship. I have also just recently found a cousin who I have lost touch with... Yes I believe it is possible!

Yeah, why not? It's all depend on us, weather we like to reconnect or not. But i think, it would be nice to reconnect to a friend or a family member after a long time ago of having lost in touch. Have a nice day ahead from Kiko and happy posting and earning here in MyLot and Godspeed!

I actually can't get back if i have many things around and very ery busy with it but if I get a chance i would like to meet them, a lost friend from the past, meeting them remembering the past its great, but it ofcourse depends on the situation so I will have to judge the situation, if it permits then only i can go

You can reconnect with almost anyone. With the internet you can keep in touch even with people you might not physically see again. Your new connection will be as the people you are now not the people you were. I had a friend find me after 10 years and it was the best feeling to know she still thought of me. We are half a country away from eachother but now we email, im, and talk on the phone at least once a week. We still have a lot in common. If you want to know this person then make the effort and it should be worth while.
