I've recently reconnected with friends I went to school/college with on Facebook and it's been lovely getting to know them all again and hear about what they've been up to over the years. I got married and had my first child at quite a young age, most of the people my age were still partying and clubbing it up back then! As my priorities in life had changed, I drifted away from a lot of my old mates and tended to make friends with other young mums as we seemed to understand each other more. But then as I'm naturally quite an introverted person anyway, maybe there's a chance we would have drifted apart anyway, as I have to admit back then especially without the lovely social media we have now, I wasn't always the best at staying in touch.
But I think it's amazing when I hear about these people who have been in each other's lives for decades! It's great to have such a strong friendship and have kept up with each other's lives all these years. I'm in my forties now so you never know, there's still time for me to have such a friendship. :)
What about any of you? Do you still keep in touch regularly with the friends you made at school/college/uni or even your very first job?
I absolutely do! Mandy who's on here was my best friend at secondary school and we are still the best of friends. And of course there's a lot of people on here who I grew up with or went to school with - Angel included! And then as a lot of you have also said, I do have loads of old school mates on Facebook. I don't really see them unless I run into them somewhere but we do exchange messages at certain time of the year, like Christmas for instance.
