Reuniting with old friends

I am also the type who finds it very difficult to keep in touch with old friends, especially if they live far away. I do feel guilty for not having kept in touch with my old school friends. But in those days we did not have the internet or mobile phone and keeping in touch with friends far away would also be cumbersome and expensive. It does feel wierd about reconnecting for our worlds have changed in the meantime. However it does feel nice to recollect old times when reuniting with old friends and family too!

I've actually lost contact with the majority of the people that I was friends with when I was in high school and college. I would really like to get together with a lot of them because to a certain extent I miss them. I'm proud of the woman that I've become even though who I've become is not the person that I expected to be in the long run. I expected to be a pediatrician with a successful practice, but instead I am a stay-at-home mother to two wonderful children. I couldn't imagine my life being any different than it is today. Perhaps there would be some people that I was friends with that would look down at me, but I know that the majority of my past friends took the same path in life that I've taken.

hi. i totally understand where you are coming from. as a matter of fact, today an old schoolmate of mine invited me for a hangout and i decided to honour the invitation and use it as a means of reuniting, at least, to an extent. little did i know that i was making a huge mistake cos it turned out awful and i had to leave even before the occasion started cos i just didn't feel a part of their crowd. like you, i'm not ashamed of who i've become, if anything, i'm quite proud but something about some of the old crowd just puts me off. however, u may just have as much fun. goodluck.

reuniting is so cool, brings out old sweet sour memories.

I have found people I haven't talked to in years through Facebook. Its cool when that happens! Sometimes you may loose contact because you have moved away, then somehow you can reconnect. I know that sometimes I lost friends because they were seasonal friends, God had them in my life for that certain time, something I may have been going through that only they would know how to help. But then they can always find their way back into your life. I am not one on reunions, but thats cool that you and your friends are planning one. Good luck with that. Great discussion. Have a Blessed Day!

I never fail to keep in touch with old friends. They serve as an important part in my memory. Of course there are some friends no matter how much effort you try you cannot get in contact with them as often because of too much work and stuff both of you are doing. On the other hand, I love reunions, It is nice to see your old friends again. Especially those you were once close to.
