This is a topic that would relate to most people, with social circles that is (no offense). We would ask our friends from the same schools or from anywhere to keep in touch, but in the end become complete strangers due to all the changes that has occurred to both parties. Keeping in touch requires more effort than actually making friends in the first place. some of the reasons of loosing contact is the lack of free time or lack of interest at that. We should be grateful that we live in this era of technology compared to the years before that we had to send letters and wait weeks for a reply. Today, thats far from us. Now we can even chat with a person on the other side of the world in mere seconds. But why is keeping in touch still so hard at times?
I thought this would be a good topic to write about on account that high schools over and also the fact that I had 3 high schools in my lifetime. Some might think that its fun to live life like this, lots of friends that is. But the truth is for me its hard because people would remember me, but i would have a hard time putting a name to the face (btw, I'm a person that remembers faces and not names). so when they do add me on Facebook or see me on the streets, there's the inevitable awkward moment that I'd be like "who are you again?". It gets even worse when they mention the numerous activities we went through (i'm such a bad friend). But thank god I figured out who they were soon through some social network before I went crazy. or maybe thats just me. The main thing is, if I somehow kept in touch, it would have been easier to remember the names.
I do wish I kept in touch with friends from the various educational institutions I've been to, but to think about it, it must have been a lot of work. But would ultimately be worth it though. My actual main point is that keeping in touch is a choice that is made either realizing it or not. Though fate has its control in it too, but with effort anything can happen and overcome. Yeah, maybe you guys live in the same neighborhood, how could we loose contact. but that happens, even neighbors. So think about that, friends are the people that make life both a challenge and smooth sailing. They color your life, no? regardless though what shade, dark or bright. Here to i want to apologize to those that have become or going to be a nameless close friend to me due to my memory problem thing. Always remember though that I cherish all of you, even if I don't remember your names at times - hehe
P/s: A moment I remember is that on the first day of school in my last high school, I met this girl or remeet at that moment as I've seen her face before from my first high school before. we just ended up with a "Oh, hi" before going back to whatever we were doing. That night we relearnt each others name. it was hilarious. ^^
