Hi Mum, it’s been good to see you!
I wonder too and I wonder why I do.
I wonder why I’m still here and I wonder about those that aren’t. Change is the constant I guess.
If I feel the urge to PM or email someone who isn’t here, I question that urge. Obviously I want something out of it – what is it that I want? To feel connected, to feel part of something larger?
I guess the folks who aren’t here choose not to be. I respect their choices and am glad they’re not here if they’re away living full and loving lives. On the other hand, we all have a short time on the planet and in 100 years, I’m sure nobody will ask ‘where’s Portia’? What if those I’m wondering about aren’t (literally) around any more? I still have the memory of them, so long as I’m around.
Sorry if this is somewhat serious. I’ve wondered about this subject often! Thanks for raising it Mum.
Hey, there’s the Friends Reunited website
http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk , where old school/work friends can meet up? They’ve got some tagline to hook users in that goes “It’s fascinating being nosy and reading how people’s lives turned out! Plus, if you want to get in touch..”….. and I think hmmmmm treat with care and question why you want to know!
