Wondering to wonder

Tweet

Do you ever wonder who from your past and present remembers you? Do you ever wonder if those people you haven't spoken to in a long time stop and reflect on the memories they had with you? I often find myself wondering because I know I'll randomly have memories of people I haven't spoken to in years and I'll wonder if they ever remember me? There's really no way to know for sure. It's interesting to think about. I often think back to kids I went to school with and wonder what ever happened to them? I have to wonder if any of them remember me or think of me? I think we often forget that there are people out there who we barely talked to that might remember us. Maybe that kid you did a school project with that one time and you have no reason to believe they'd remember you but sometimes they do. I remember kids I had very little interaction with and wonder what ever happened to them. I was always the quiet kid that was forgotten about but sometimes people surprise you. I often wonder if I die who would actually remember who I was? It's just something to think about I guess. Another thing I wonder about is how many random photos I'm in? Maybe just passing or standing in the background. In all of those photos, we have where there are people we don't know standing around, I often wonder who those people are? I wonder what their life is like. I have to wonder how many random photos I'm in that I don't know about? I have found some relatives have pictures of me I didn't know about let alone know who the relative is. It's just weird to think about. We are connected to so many people in one way or another and we don't even really know them or how we are connected. It's just interesting to think about. One of my favorite thing to do is to people watch. I sit and look around and wonder who they are and what their story is. Sometimes I make up stories in my head about who I think they could be to pass the time. Then I think "I wonder if anyone has ever done this about me?" There are a lot of questions I don't have answers to but sometimes it's just fun to think about. I don't think about it in a bad way but in a curious fun way. Sometimes it makes me feel less alone in the world. Like maybe there are people out there who wonder about me and whatever happened to me, or wonder who I was, to begin with. I know I wonder about others. It's funny how we can be around a bunch of people and still feel so alone when in reality we really aren't alone. There are so many people out there who care or who feel the same way we do. I think sometimes it's just fun to wonder. It's fun to believe that maybe we left a lasting impression on someone and we don't even know it. I know there are people who left an impression on me but probably don't even realize I exist. Sometimes it's just nice to wonder.
