Sometimes I still get nostalgic for my old email discussion list friends (and all the people I’ve gotten to know from a distance over the years). Some I met, some I never did, some I lost touch with a few years ago. Some I still talk to today. A couple have died. A couple I ended up getting involved with. One dated my first partner’s ex-girlfriend, and then my high school best friend (it really is a small world).
Even when I’m busy with meatspace and don’t reach out for months, my online friends are still on my mind - but it is strange how after a while you sort of think they’ll float back into your life, and sometimes they do, and sometimes they never do, but after a while it doesn’t hit you like it did at first and I don’t know why.
I ramble, my hands wave - just another early morning in my home.
