It has been 6 years since I have graduated high school. Since then classmates have traveled to separate colleges, moved out of town, or just disappeared for a while. Before the social internet revolution it was hard to see where classmates had journeyed to in life. But now it is overly simple to stay connected and follow people to an almost stalking level. You now can see where they live, work, their relational status, and events they are attending. When I first joined facebook I only added people I was truly friends with, but I have noticed lately more and more friend requests from past classmates. Maybe it is due to the recent boom in engagements, or the new "people you may know" feature.
I do have mixed feelings though. I have always been curious of other people, but I don't know if this is the way I wanted to find out. It is nice though, being a person who returned to Warsaw after college, to find out who else has adventured back to Warsaw to start their life and careers. Maybe a way to reconnect with old friends, or to forgive past grudges and form new friendships.
