I guess I have a bit of a different approach to this one. I'm of the opinion that if people from my past wanted me to know how they were doing they would make some effort to contact me and vice versa.

I wish them all well but sometimes catching up with old friends can be disappointing - especially childhood friends - because we change so much. Sometimes it is better to remember them (and the friendship) as it was, rather than catch up and find out that it isn't as you remembered. Or worse still, they have turned into complete asses!! Or you have.

When it comes to old flames, well, that is water under the bridge. Our lives have moved on, for better and worse. I'm a big believer in 'the past is the past'.

If the friendship was that good we'd still be friends. I realise that sometimes there are circumstances that take people away from us that we have no control over - but then again, wouldn't we have kept in control if we were true friends?

Sorry if I seem cynical but that is the way I feel about it. I certainly don't mean to make anyone upset if I seem somewhat cold about it or unfeeling. That isn't my intention. It is just the way I look at things.
