And I can relate. I could go on, but it’s a changed dynamic for sure and that’s hard to grapple with.Um… that was weird! Will update if I become the person reaching out to the person from the past.One positive for me in this situation has been that I have started to reach out much more often to my grandparents, something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. This is an unusual and crazy situation. It’s a bummer for sure.I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through that.
I did the reaching out, but I have recently reconnected with my college roommate that I had a falling out with. The second ghosted me four years ago after we were long-distance dating for a year (a year!).
There are a few people on my mind, but I have no way to reach them.It’s interesting seeing who I’m talking to! It’s easily one of the best things that has come from this mess for me.I got a text from someone who has ghosted me not once, but twice. Still good looking, still dumb as a rock :)Hahaha. I have called people myself, written lots of letters just to say hi, and I was part of a Zoom call for an old friend’s birthday, so I suppose there was that. He hasn’t written back yet.Can we talk more abt normal people pls? A friend posted their wedding photos from months ago and in them were some pictures of a guy I was friends with in college. I so rarely have the chance to hear from them again after we finish formally meeting. Much love from Germany ♥️I think I can relate to this. I heard his side and she wrote me a note but we never spoke again. A few days later I got a mail and a Facebook message from two long-lost friends. Just cut me out of her life.
It’s an odd feeling to have my life match those around me for once… I have found myself sad to not be checked in on, texted or a part of friend Zoom meetings but other than that, it’s the same as my life before. Let’s say I were to voice the question, “Heard from God lately?” to a very large crowd that had a mix of Christians and non-Christians.
We tried to go over all the reasons things would never work between us, but none of them felt good enough.
Thank you all for your insights and the reminder that this will eventually start to feel better than it does now. and at the end of each year, I send the kids off for the summer with a self-addressed notecard and envelope so they can write to me over the summer. We went our separate ways after the tour while waiting for the gondola to carry our group down. I got a text from a man from my past who told me that he should have married me instead when he had the chance. “No one has reached out to me!” lamented one friend, only to hear from her high school boyfriend the following day. But something about this quarantine lifestyle has made me more insular for the time being. !o gosh, such a nice story.
I had a weird gut feeling that my boyfriend’s ex reached out to him- I showed him this article and asked him, and bam! I have reached out to some friends from uni I haven’t spoken to in years. Talking to him had been so easy, so cozy and kind. Here are some of the most frustrating things I’ve heard about racism lately, along with some thoughts on why these things are false or hurtful.
I hope you are ok.Oh I am so sorry you have to go through this, hope you can hear from people who can help. <3I would love to connect with the people from my cycling class. Usually the timing works out that he’s having a coffee, and they’re in the middle of making dinner – it’s been a fun way for him to connect with people from 20 years ago and thousands of kms away.My hairstylist reached out to me! She also loves saying and singing happy birthday, so we now send videos whenever a friend has a birthday.
