I’m pretty much a social butterfly. Even in high school, where most of my friends were in maybe 2 or 3 social circles, I was in nearly 3 times as many. Not to say I was the coolest kid in school, or even the most liked, it’s just a fact that I knew a good deal of the student body, if only as an acquaintance. This has made for some pretty awkward moments later in life, as I can’t remember half of the people that come up to me saying, “Hey, Chris! Remember me?!” But I digress…
This has carried over to my young adult life, however as I’m not in the same place as these people 6 hours a day, 5 times a week anymore there are circles that I am more available to than others. One circle that I have left very neglected over the past couple years is becoming more present in my life these days, and I have to say it’s like a breath of fresh air. Not to say that the air is stagnant at home or with the other circle(s), but like I said, I grew up with several circles of friends, and recently I’ve had two; The high school/etc. homies, and my wife.
My buddy Marc had a birthday bash at his apartment in Culver City last night, and I had a blast. I was able to see a lot of the old homies, all of the Vampire crowd, and met some new people.
Talk to someone you haven’t talked to in years. Go ahead. Do it. Have fun.
