It would be more fun to get some exciting unexpected news from time to time.. but what I find extremely strange is that even those whom I lost contact with and now we’re back in touch, I wasn’t surprised to know their news.
Even for those who were with me in elementary school it was easy to tell who would get married early.. who would be having children by now, who is pursuing a master’s degree.. who is leading a normal peaceful life as a housewife.. who is having a good career and who will stay where they are for years to come. It’s either that all the signs would show from an early age of how each and everyone will want to live his life and where he will be.. or it’s simply because people get what best suit them or what they can handle best.
I remember someone told me, ‘I can’t imagine you living where I am, and at the same time I can’t imagine me living where you are.. !’, and when I thought about it.. it is so very true. And it’s exactly the same way I feel too.
What a positive thing to think about and remember !

Interesting to know someone for your whole life. Other than my immediate family, I’ve never known anyone my whole life. I changed schools several times, so I never saw my elementary schoolmates again, only talk to one high schoolmate still, and don’t remember or know anyone from university anymore… no-one from my first three jobs, one person from my fourth… and then the current job’s crowd. But when people come and go from work, I don’t keep in touch with them after that. My life is a pile of toothpicks, stacked pointed in all different directions, with only one small part of each toothpick touching any other part. Each person’s life is a toothpick of varying length, aimed in a different direction. All I know of them is the moments that their life intersected mine. Your life is a pile of toothpicks, all aligned together. You have years, decades, where your life touched the lives of others. How interesting. I can’t imagine living the way you live. ;-) I bet you can’t imagine living mine.
ummm.. yeah i guess I can’t imagine living yours :$ it’s crazy but I like to keep touch with people I know and I care for. Even if those were ones who were with me in my elementary school only. It’s great to know where each one is.. what they have done in their lives or who they have become.
