I must admit that I love Facebook. I log on several times each day and really enjoy seeing photos posted by people I may not have seen or talked to in years. I love getting friend requests and the moment of suspicion wondering who it will be. I do think some people may be a little obsessed with the site and I hope I never get that way!
I received a friend request today from girl who was a very close friend from middle school early high school and was very pleasantly surprised. Immediately after accepting her request I received a chat message from her and before I really knew it we had been chatting for like 45 minutes.
My memory is a little fuzzy as to why we stopped being friends way back then. I remember some details but not all of them. Looking back now it seems so senseless...we were so close at one time it is quite sad we didn't stay in touch all these years. I had wondered from time to time about her and how her life had turned out and now I know thanks to Facebook.
I was delighted to discover she is now the mother of not one, two, or three but four girls and is very happy. It was really fascinating to catch up with her and be given a glimpse into her life after all of this time. We both look forward to chatting more and maybe meeting up in person one day.
I love FB too for those same reasons. I love the ease of keeping up with people without having to write separate emails. I went through a period of obsession when I first found it, but I'm good now.
