One week after getting on Facebook and getting friended by dozens of people from my past, I have to say it’s been 25% enjoyable and 75% an unpleasant shock, finding out depressing and disturbing things about old friends and being reminded of things I’d finally — and mercifully — forgotten about.
Though I did get reconnected with a few people I had lost touch with decades ago. One in particular has turned their life around, and wanted to thank me.
