Tonight I finally picked up the phone and contacted theatre friends long left by the wayside and missed from my theatre days. I hadn't seen any of them since 2002. They were kind of my second adoptive family. In fact, the last time I saw any of them was at Nanna's funeral, when the gut punches that happened there kind of destroyed the last of

:D That's awesome! I'm so glad you could reconnect.

Me too :D

Good for you, acting on your impulse to make the first phone call. I am guilty of losing friends because, after not hearing from people for a few months, I write them off. I hope it continues to make your life a bit brighter.

I think it will. It's far too easy for me to talk myself into believing when they call they'll be like "Oh, I forgot all about you." But I'm glad I got over it. :)

It's like a default setting. The longer I go without hearing from someone, the more I figure they have forgotten me. I think it's human nature. Every time my mother runs into someone I went to school with, they go on and on about what they remember about me. But in school I was a nonentity.

Ugh, people, life, ugh. As long as we can keep in touch with each other we can be happier. Now that the initial contact has been made, it should be easier.

Me too. We're plotting to catch up in person some time in the very near future :)

Hello, my friend. ^^ I know the kind of courage it takes to reach out, particularly when so much time has passed. And you did it not just once but with various people.

I still have other people I really should contact and I'll get on that. :D I have friends in Melbourne who probably wonder what happened to me too.
