Facebook has made communicating with people, easier. Better?? I'm not totally sure, different. We receive little snippets of their lives, and maybe that is all we need to know?? Touching base with high school friends, is an adventure . I like to think we are all in a better mindset, now.
We went to school with each other, some of us for twelve years, some only a few. We assume, dangerous, that we knew each other back then. In a way we did. We knew the young, innocent, seventeen year old that we were. No one, will ever know that stage that we were in, except each other. We have stories to tell, some good, some not so much. However high school treated us, or vice versa, we are connected. We rode the streets of The Northside, the future ahead of us. Now, forty years later, we have traveled different paths, and yet here we are on Facebook, connected again on Main Street!!! Sharing heartaches and triumphs, remembering old songs, and beach hangouts.
In the movie, "The Big Chill" ( I know, it's old, like us!!!), the character Nick, played by William Hurt, says," A long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; You don't know anything about me!"
I don't think that is completely true. I know that I love the people I have been chatting with lately on facebook, all different kinds of wonderful people, who have touched my life, in all kinds of ways.
Our journey continues.
