Losing Touch With Loved Ones - Is It Difficult?

Tweet

I'm afraid of losing touch with those that I've grown close with, offline or online. Of course, people have their own lives now. Some of you are married and are with your husbands/wives. Others are knee-deep in their careers and haven't been seen in a long time. That's ok. But I think it would be nice if people took the time, out of their daily lives, to reassure me and to let me know that they have me in their thoughts and that they do care. I hate it when people mysteriously drop off the Earth and not give me an idea of where they are in the world or what they are doing today. Its not right. I know I have friends all over the world and I'm blessed knowing that, but the problem is losing touch with those people for a long time. I don't want it to be static between the parties, where its just "Hi, how are you?" that kind of bullcrap. Its just like being with the people that gave you a chance to date them. During that time, you're very special to them, probably the best thing during that time. Then something happens and both partners seperate and when they see you, they will go "Oh, just another woman or man in my life, no one special, just another person in the sea of lives that I know," and I hate that feeling. I hate feeling that I am not as important as I used to be to them. Call me self-conscious, if you will, but that's how I feel. I don't wish to feel the same when it comes to my friends on here and everywhere I go in life. Sure, you have to go out and meet new friends and that's why places like Myspace, Facebook, or even Mylot exist - to stay in touch with old friends and family. But I want to make sure that I have a close bond with my friends and my family in the memories that I've earned with them, not lose touch and make it to the point of where they don't know you at all. Its ridiculous. I mean, granted, I'm not a saint. I've done bad things in my life to severe ties with people that I've dealt with. On top of that, you can't be friends with everyone in the world and I'm ok with that completely. I'm just saying that for the people that I've grown really close with - whether it be friends, family, or even exes (if that is even possible) - I just want to be in their life in some form and to stay in touch with them. Maybe, one day, when the planets and stars align, we can reunite and make some new memories, all of them good along the way. That's just my whole fear and I'm doing my best to express it through here. The whole post here is not to disrespect anybody on Mylot or anywhere else - just expressing how I feel. So is it difficult for you guys to stay in touch with your loved one at all or is it easy to stay in touch?
