Losing touch

I spent a few minutes on Facebook today and I estimate that I have "lost touch" with probably 85% of those people who are my "friends." Some don't count because I worked on one project with them for one class freshmen year. Some don't count because they were a grade or two behind/ahead of me in high school and we're only friends because we had band together for a year. But that still leaves a lot of people I have forgotten or who have forgotten about me.

I'm not complaining or super sad that some of these people have only been passersby, but there are a lot of good people I'm missing out on or who are missing out on me (ha ha ha). I kind of feel like I live in a Florida-induced bubble. It's Blake and me and that's great, don't get me wrong. We're both very much about each other, and there is NO ONE I would rather spend day after day with. But all of our friends are other places. Other states, other countries, just... gone. With the internet, wouldn't you think we would keep in touch? But I think it's exactly the opposite. It's so easy to keep in touch that we just don't because technically, we can do it whenever we want... so we put it off for ten years.

You know, maybe it's not so bad to lose touch with people. That 25% that I'm still in contact with... they're awesome. Maybe it's taken me this long to weed out who my real friends are... maybe I'm just to lazy to get in touch with old friends.
