Sometimes when Facebook makes “people you may know” suggestions, it shows you pictures of people you haven’t seen in years.
Sometimes those pictures make your stomach do a weird lurchy thing because there is a reason you have not seen those faces for so long.
Sometimes when that happens, you end up Facebook stalking these people who used to be a part of your life because even though you don’t particularly want to be friends anymore–even online–you are still curious.
And no matter what you find, you end up feeling grateful that things turned out the way they did. Largely because your life is awesome, and a little bit because you’ve aged better than they have.
Yes. A thousand times yes.

I saw a comment from "Sam" in my email and had no idea who it might be. Then it turns out to be you. Should I mourn "Optimistic."? Because that's who you will always be in my mind.
Ah yeah, sorry about that. I figured it was time to put my real name on the blog, since I've more or less retired it from the internet. (But I've replaced it with a new one! On the 100 Hour Board! WHAT COULD IT BE)
