It would make me feel better. He was mentally abusive and there are things I’ve held onto for years. Telling him to his face, being able to verbalize all that he put me through, would be therapeutic for me.

That’s very tough. How hard would it be to do that?

Nearly impossible. He likes to pretend I and his first born don’t exist. I think it alleviates the guilt he hopefully has for abandoning us shortly after my son was born.
Old teenage friend/ex. Not to get back together or anything like that, but just to see how life treated him, to know he’s happy & well. A catch up over a cuppa would be great. He’s one person who I know that doesn’t use social media, so it’s been hard to stay in touch when we went our separate ways.
It ended badly. Long story short, I messed up. I tried to atone, but they weren’t interested. Lesson learned.

One of my close friends from high school. Had love for him like a brother. However, I stood back and realized that once I went to college, settled down and got married that him and I were on two different paths in our lives. If I wanted any success I could surround myself around the mess.
I was really sad to find out last night that Luke Perry passed away. This morning I read this question here. Maybe I’m still overwhelmed by his passing but the only answer that came to mind was this memorable line..”May the bridges I burn light my way…”
My cousin. We used to be close friends when we were children, but then things changed when our parents had a bad argument… I’m sure we will get back in touch one day!
Because I am a realist. I want a tangible relationship that exists where I do. Beside that, I am not all that important. (Although, I like myself very much) I cannot praise any dyslexic dog that encourages violence, discourages critical thinking, or damns people to hell for eternity. I strongly believe our communities need religion because values and morality are of paramount importance; but I do not believe anyone who says they speak on behalf of a dyslexic dog then condemns anyone who doesn’t agree with them. My connection is broken, because I am spoiled, I want a dyslexic dog that that responds. Look in any book, the prophets there asked no less than I. (I hope I am not offending, I believe that others beliefs are important, and do not want to devalue them.)
My best friend from high school.
What stops you from getting back in touch with that person?
My son’s father, but only so I can tell him what a raging piece of shit he is.
I’m not sure how helpful would that be, but you can drop a letter with the message.

My ordered, organised and self-assured self.
That self just has a vacation. When you’ll get back with it, things will be better than ever. Never lose hope, K! 🙂
An old best friend
How can you get in touch with that old best friend?
I would find his work place or his e mail.
Me before cellphone
How did the cellphone change you?
It started to turn me into a zombie, like everyone else. The fact I’m commenting on here while my oatmeal is getting cold is a prime example.
Me before weight gain- not due to the weight but due the self esteem.
Did your self-esteem drop due to weight gain or there are some other factors involved too?

My first girlfriend.
Well, give her a call or something. Maybe she’d like to get back in touch with you too.
A few friends from when I first began writing
Maybe it’s time for a reunion?
I wish…they haven’t spoken to me in a long time
How come?

How often do your paths still cross?
Not at all. The last time I talk to him was 2013
My Best friend since Kindergarten to Grade 6.
How come your paths separated?
I transferred in High School.
I was really sad to find out last night that Luke Perry passed away. This morning I read this question here. Maybe I’m still overwhelmed by his passing but the only answer that came to mind was this memorable line..”May the bridges I burn light my way…”
Yeah… It’s a huge loss…
No one… 🙂
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” ― Bernard M. Baruch
Great quote! So you kept your connection with the people that matter to you, right?
As best I can… 🙂
My ex roommate, who made me realize I was a writer.
I think it would be great if your ex roommate reads some of your work 😀
My cousin. We used to be close friends when we were children, but then things changed when our parents had a bad argument… I’m sure we will get back in touch one day!
What can you do so that day comes faster? 🙂
My dyslexic doG.
How come you broke the connection?
Because I am a realist. I want a tangible relationship that exists where I do. Beside that, I am not all that important.

Myself.
The good thing is that you know this… the hardest part is the journey towards yourself 🙂
As a parent it is easy to lose oneself in service of another.
