Friends and Facebook

It's rather interesting how much the world has changed during only 20 years of my life. And not only the world itself but also the people, including me. Thanks to Facebook I have the opportunity to observe this change by looking at the profiles of my ancient friends - friends from my childhood and from the basic school. It seems to be almost unimaginable now that I was once friends with these people. I just can't imagine any subject we could talk about now. Strange. But that's how it goes.
Today I've found my very first best friend's profile. And I was shocked. She's just gorgeous, looks like a model. I was impressed - but only until I checked the groups she's a member of and the pages she's a fan of: fashion, disco, branded goods, marihuana, parties... And then: XXX became a member of "Cocaine and his friends" and XXX became a fan of Cocaine. Does this have a real base? If yes, than it's... Well, no comment.
It's also intersting how I've found her on Facebook. She commented on a status of another former best friend of mine - from a different period a few years later. She's very much the same as the "friend" described previously. A girl whose only interest is to party. I was quite surprised that these two former best friends of mine are such a good couple of friend nowadays. This world's just small. And full of connections and coincidence.
Talking about coincidence - yesterday I met one of the main characters of this blog. To be more precise - I met him and his girlfriend. The one in whose bed I slept twice. I must say I somehow felt pity for her... I expect she doesn't know about all that "funny stuff" her boyfriend was (or has been?) involved in. She was very cute, more than good-looking and seemed to be very nice as a person. And still he was able to do all this to her - under the motto "what you don't know about can't hurt you". But still it's unfair. I'd always thought it was all unfair to me. But it wasn't. I wasn't the victim. Only good memories are left inside my head now and I'm glad for these memories. Is this the final reconciliation with the past? Maybe. I definitely feel a lot lighter after yesterday.
