Do you ever find someone on myspace that you haven’t talked to in a while, but then couldn’t decide if you should contact them? With many people I do send them a message because we were friends, and just drifted due to time and distance. But what if that person is an ex, or a person you didn’t really know? And what if they aren’t even using their full name, and you stumbled upon them via google to a sibling, and then to them? lol
Basically, I know it was all just curiosity, but I don’t know that it would be to the other party. So I’m just leaving it alone for now. Besides, if she’s curious, I’m quite easy to find. It wouldn’t do any good probably to drop a message either. I’d just get wrapped up in this person for a while, getting to know them again, when I need to focus on many other things in my life. I think it’s an avoidance mechanism, one that I need to overcome.
That doesn’t make it any easier, or prevent me from visiting said myspace page to try to reconcile my memory with the pictures in front of me. So different…until she smiles. Then there’s the person I remember. Odd, isn’t it? Perhaps smiling, a real smile at least, brings us most in touch with our true, unchanging self. The rest is all facade of varying degrees.
I wonder what emoticons tell us. hahahaha
