I went through my contacts today randomly….. I have always kept contacts and people i’ve met. relationships, friends, girls, business contacts, one night stands, exes, family…. I don’t always do a good job of labeling people, and i tend to just put their first name and phone number/email… and i never delete them. I have 20 years worth of my life in my contacts list…. sorted in a way that, often, i cannot tell who they are.
there are people i connected with, briefly, deeply, that i wish i could bring them back into my life……
they sit there in my contacts. I don’t remember their names. one of these is her…. he… she… one of hundreds…. but i don’t know her name, i don’t have any way of remembering who these people are….. their contact info is RIGHT there…. hidden in the masses….. waiting for me to reach out to them….
looking through this…. makes me feel like i’m trying to find an old friend… at a masquerade ball… where everyone looks the same, and has the same costume…..
