I have re-discovered childhood friends, my husband’s childhood friends and gotten to know friends, co-workers and relatives in a way that would never have been possible without Facebook.

As far as wondering “what if…?” – don’t spend too much time wondering or regretting. Just be grateful for what you have found now!

I agree completely about how time has leveled the playing field a bit. It’s funny, but getting a chance to communicate and interact with people now on such equal terms has helped me to resolve some feelings that I had carried over from my youth. I’ve come to realize that we’re all really the same underneath whatever behavioural or personality traits we may display at certain times in our lives and now that I have kids of my own High School and Middle School I see that in many cases these behaviours were coping mechanisms that they used to deal with their OWN fear and uncertainty.

I guess time does heal all wounds (or maybe it wounds all heals?).

But that being said, I have made connections with childhood friends from long ago, and am sad that all of this time has passed and we never knew where each other was…it has been a good avenue in that retrospect.

It is funny to me how the levels of “cool” seem to have melted away. People who thought they were so “in” are really like different people now…no matter…it is still sorta hard to forget the high school personalities that were not so nice and pick up again like that never happened….it is a bit strange! Enjoyed you post….
