Philosophy time!
Haha, how many people just clicked away.
So, for a while now, I've been thinking about how I can think of a lot of people, names, faces, that I used to be really great friends with, who I haven't talked to in months or even years. People that I still like! That I still think about regularly, even! But for some reason or another...either we're no longer friends on Discord for whatever reason, or we only ever talked on Skype which I no longer use, or we were friends on a certain roleplay site that I religiously avoid now. For whatever reason, we haven't talked in enormous amounts of time, despite arguably being great friends.
And more and more...I'm thinking about how we all have our own paths in life that we take. Some of us are moving faster along our paths than others are on theirs (or you're me, in which case you're sitting on a bench). And I keep thinking about how I'd love nothing more than to reconnect with these people, there are one or two in my mind even that I have to actively resist tracking down and tackle-hugging.
I just think about how our paths all go in a unique direction...for some of us, we're lucky enough to have paths that go in pretty similar directions, so we get to hang out together for a long time, our whole lives if we're really, really lucky. Some of us meet once and never even think of each other again. And...these days, I think I'm starting to come to terms with this. We all scratch a certain mark on the people we meet, and that mark can be larger and deeper depending on how close we become. Some marks are so tiny that we can't even see them and they get rubbed away.
I still keep myself from going and finding my older friends, because...somehow, I know that it just isn't meant for us to stay super close. I have my memories of them, and I know they think of me every now and again, but I think if we tried to reconnect it'd be weird somehow. Like...we've moved on to other parts of our lives, and we're focused on other things now, so wedging something else in, even if it IS important to us...it would just mess things up, y'know?
But if the mark we make is large enough, then it doesn't matter if our paths take us a thousand worlds apart. Because we'll still bring that record with us along our path, and there is always the chance, however remote it might be, that our paths could take U-turns and bring us together again.
That's just for the paths to decide. All we can do is follow. ^_^

I've had many friends that i lost contacts with, and i know how it feels.
Even now i remember some of them and i relate a lot on the "trying not to be a stalker" part >v<
In the end, what really matters in friendships is how they shaped you and how you affected them!
Even though you might have lost contacts, they were an important part of your life nevertheless, and same goes for you to them! uvu
You thought you'd scare me with some words huh? >v>
What c'ya gonna do about it? =v=
