Keeping In Touch

My last post was about how bad I am at keeping up with news and current events but how I am content with being in the unknown. Today’s post is kind of similar. I am absolutely terrible at keeping in touch with people. As soon as I left for college, I kind of knew exactly what would happen. I tried not to lie to people and say that I would, because it just isn’t true. Even though I made an effort to be honest, I still probably wasn’t honest enough with everyone. It’s something that I really feel awful about. There are some people I wasn’t worried about because they are so good at reaching out to me. I’m so bad about making the effort, so it’s best for me if the other person does it. There are also some people I am very good about reaching out to just because they are so easy to talk to. Those people just know I’m forgetful and try my best. I wish I weren’t so bad at keeping up with the people I want to continue to have in my life. To be honest, there are people I purposely did not keep up with. I feel like that’s life, but it's also the truth. I was lying in bed last night and was thinking about a bunch of people from high school and how I haven’t seen them in over a year. Some of it made me feel really shitty, and some made me really happy. In twenty years, will I look back and not remember anyone? Will I wish I had done a better job of staying in touch with everyone? My closest friends will hopefully be around. I’m realistic, and I know people will come and go. I was watching a show the other day, and they were talking about which one of their friends would be the first to die and who’d be the last alive. It’s weird to think that’ll be an issue one day. For now, I’m just going to try and work on staying in touch with people. I’m not exactly sure how, but I’ll probably send out a bunch of texts soon. I’m watching my dad get his haircut now. I just got my hair done too. It was looking a little bit ratty. It’s been a tiring day, so sorry for the short post. I’ll see you all on Monday; I’ll be a nasty nineteen! Happy Friday, everyone!
