So, I've been getting all of these crazy friend requests on Facebook lately.
The other day I was so excited when one of my most favorite customers in the whole world from back when I worked at Starbucks sent me a friend request. We've kept in touch via email off and on over the last few years, but I was so happy that he found me on Facebook so that now it will be easier to keep in touch.
Then, the day after that I got a friend request from another friend that I hadn't talked to in 10 years (literally, almost to the day). I actually met this guy when I was in Thailand. He was 19 at the time at his first year in university and he was one of the students that came to an english class I was a part of teaching. At the time he was a Buddhist, but while I was in Thailand he became a Christian. What is so crazy is that now he lives in CHICAGO! All the way from Chiang Mai, Thailand and he is now just 2 measly hours away from me! Plans are already in the works to get together sometime soon and I'm so excited to see him!
I just love getting reconnected with old friends. I love looking through their pictures to catch up on where they've been and what they've been doing through the years. I try really hard to keep in touch with everyone, but with life it sometimes gets tough.
Phone calls just don't happen with me (just ask my mom) so Facebook is my main means of communication these days. I wish things could be different and a little more personal, but for now this will do.
I would love it someday if all the people from all the seasons of my life could get together to have a big ol' party. Really, that would be a dream come true. Just having all of my closest girlfriends together in once place for my wedding was pretty spectactular, but how cool would it be to be able to hang out with all the friends that I've met in all these different places? I think it would quite literally be the best day of my entire life. Obviously that's never going to happen in my lifetime (except for maybe at my funeral, but I wouldn't really enjoy that too much), but just thinking about it makes me happy enough for now.
