Re-Building Bridges
I was looking through old photographs the other day, and came across a bunch of photos that I hadn’t seen in years. As I looked through, I realised they were mostly of people who I am no longer in contact with; and I began to wonder why. Why, after knowing people for years and sharing your secrets with them, do we all drift apart? Understandably, you grow apart from people who change as they grow and who you no longer share similar interests with, and equally we move away and it’s not easy to keep in touch. But thinking back to my school days, there are still people who I would like to meet up with again.
The point of this little reminiscent story is that, although it may be awkward and sometimes difficult to arrange, it could be time to rebuild bonds with some of your oldest friends. Being at University is a great experience, a great way to meet tons of new friends who will stay with you for years to come, but that doesn’t mean that your old friends should be forgotten. Each party is equally to blame, but who’s to say that the ones you let go will not be the ones you form the strongest bonds with when you re-unite. So let’s all use the wonderful sources of Facebook and the internet, and get in touch with some old friends. Hopefully they will reply with your enthusiasm, and if not, at least you will have no regrets! Let us know how it goes!
