How do you reconnect with old friends?
This girl - we used to be real close. She had such a huge part in my childhood. We drifted apart in middle school, things were said, we were sorry, we were casual friends again but it was never the same. Now we're miles apart and I still think about how sad our friendship ended. All that connects us is Facebook and how awkward is that for the whole world to see my wall post? And still awkward inbox-ing her when it's supposed to be "casual". Aaargh.
I wish I could talk to her personally.
Gotta get rid of these bad dreams. :-/
So tell me, how do you guys reconnect with other old friends?

I dunno... if it were me, I'd probably be honest about how I was feeling. Then again, I don't know if my approach is the best way to go. I've been told on several occasions that I don't seem to have a "filter" when I talk.

As long as both of you still want to be friends, there is a chance for it to work out. I have drifted apart from my childhood best friend but every now and then we still talk on MSN and see where things go,

i actually never did reconnect with my old friends. i used to have a friend who played a huge part in my life when i was in primary school. she was my best friend until the day we all got our final year result. she excelled and i failed. and she never contacted me again until 3 years later. another friend who used to be my enemy in primary instead called me up and cheered me on. it was the day i never forgot her kindness. and from then on, i never labeled anyone as my best friend, and since then i know how to differentiate true friends.

i was in ur shoes many years ago when i graduated from college. my college friends were my family and somehow i realised i was never considered as a family member to them ... i was often left out in activities organised by my collegemates when we came back to malaysia. how i know? i found it out on facebook. i was hurt... it took me some time to digest and bring myself back to reality that what past is past. we had joy and fun at that time. i should be happy for having such fun. and i tell myself instead of thinking of the past, why not i try to get more fun with other new people? there will always be opportunity for me to have fun though it won't be the same fun as i had back in college, but i'm giving myself a chance to experience a different kind of fun.

and that is what u called life, isn't it?
