Just a reminder to all of you drifting away from me that it’s not reciprocated. I haven’t drifted from a single person in my entire life. I wish I knew this wasn’t how everyone worked a lot earlier in life, but over the years I did the math and figured you people out. You need to grow and learn and that causes change and refocusing and naturally evolved different priorities that sometimes make certain individuals irrelevant to what they’ve got going on – I get it. But just in case you’re assuming that because everyone [apparently] works like that then I do too: That is wrong and let me make it clear that I haven’t drifted from you or anyone else.
And that goes for anyone. I like hearing from literally everybody. I like when they track me down, I like when our paths re-cross naturally, I like when people reconnect – I like it all. I would be glad to hear from literally anyone I have engaged with in a positive way for any amount of time in any circumstance at any point in my life.
Talk for 5 minutes at a bus stop in Honolulu? Would love to hear from you. Did we go to school together in 2nd grade? I can name every one of my classmates with at least 2 stories about them, so drop me a line. Did we used to be actual-friends and lose contact through no negative terms? For the love of God – come back. You know. If you want. If not, then I don’t care. That’s not what this is about. I’m just saying the option is there.
I connect for life with people. Maybe it’s part of the whole having-a-good-memory thing, but I think it’s more just my belief that you can never have too much positive people in your life + the fact that I am exactly the same person I’ve always been since kindergarden (flatline with no emotional or personal growth since then. not kidding.) so I don’t go through the reassessments of life that others do. Those assessments take place within seconds or minutes of meeting you and are informed by your behavior forever after. If there is no personal attack in that scenario then I don’t drift away from you. I love you forever.
Just making sure that’s clear and on-record. Don’t be shy. Richard remembers and he still cares.
